The forth method might reduce the work election officers have to do,
too. And for reflecting the voice of community,  it would work well
enough. This way is very similar of promotional eligibility in my
university where I was granted BA. There we had veto to the sole
candidate for university president, and if he couldn't get the
majority of voters, he would lose. So as for dean candidate. I haven't
known anyone who complain around that during my student life except
one professor who scorned us because of too low voting rate on a
going-on election at that time ...
