A couple things we may want to consider.

1.  Set a specific time to vote for all lead possitions.  Say, the 2nd
week of June or something we vote on all positions, we may want to
extend the voting to a full week.
2.  Nominations take place a month before and last for a specific time,
say a week.
3.  Find a way to not send votes publicly to the list for all the world
to see.
