There is an election committee in a sense. The folks that set the

election rules and we did do that by committee. Again, the point here
is that if you voted someone in, you essentially trust them to perform
these actions to make sure the work is getting done. I am happy with
the results we've seen in the changes, though I do wish more people
would vote as well.
Arguably it would be better to just have a single dedicated "election
committee" for the project in whole thus eliminate any differences in
governing body's voting process we currently have and might have in the
future to smooth the election process and the learning curve that goes with
it for the nominees and the voters.
As a multi-term election wrangler I want to be clear that the election
wrangler organizes the election and coordinates with all the concerned
parties but does not set election rules. The election rules are set by
each governance body to suit their needs.
It kinda goes without saying that with an specific "election committee"
design to slim line and manage the whole election process, each
governance body would no longer be able to adjust the rules to suit
their needs...
Be aware though
that the eligible voters are not the same for each governance body so
this could be a little tricky.
Arguably eligible voters and nominees should always be the same for each
governance body as in anyone from within the community can run for
anything and vote on anything ( One thing I think should be fixed in the
election process ).
I think it would be more convenient for those who do participate and
even if it didn't increase participation I think it is a pretty good
idea anyway. I am not sure how hard it might be to change the voting
app to accommodate it though.
I guess we need input from the writer(s) of that app at this point =)
