Back to the topic - while I'd have to be reluctant to support having a full elecomm micromanaging every aspect of the election, some discussion of how to go about it and some oversight may be worthwhile. Given our size, there is no need to go overboard with it, and doing so may be counterproductive.
I'd suggest that a full election bureaucracy may be preemptive instruction creep. (See also [[Second-system effect]].) The problem we always had was getting anyone willing to be on the board at all.
I suggest waiting until you see if you've vastly more people wanting to be in the firing line than is feasible.
We're looking for a board of 5 (any more makes getting everyone in the same place at the same time very challenging) and have 10 candidates. Finding people to be on the board is easy, you just never asked.
