I’ve run for FESCO 4 times and lost 2 (technically 3, but I was still given a spot once because someone resigned their term early). I am in favor of having more newcomers in FESCO, and I understand that it’s not fun to run and lose and it can be hard to put yourself out there and risk embarrassment.
However, I don’t think we should change the voting rules. To me it defeats the purpose of having an election if we are going to change the rules to get the outcome that we want rather than the outcome that the voters want. In this case, you might as well just have FESCO itself choose the new members and drop the voting altogether.
For me, the best way to get more newcomers is to speak directly to the voters. Either by advocating for specific newcomers on the list or by providing more detailed information about the current makeup of FESCO and how long each person has served.
Ultimately, if the voters continue voting the same people into FESCO, they must be happy with the results, so why try to subvert the will of the voters in this case?
