This seems like a no-brainer change to me.
Currently there isn't a good way to vote for diversity. If I want one of
two FESCO representatives to be on the board, but don't really care much
which and don't want both, I don't have a good way to express that preference.
Having the FPL fix things up after the election (particularly if diversity
is explicitly one of the factors to base the decision on) goes a long way
toward fixing that problem.
