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.

For example then we could consolidating the voting process into a single 
process instead of having users having select and to vote individually 
for each governing body.

As in user logs into vote *onetime* and is presented with a voting card 
to elect *all* the nominees for *all* governing body's which of course 
would be separated sections as in something like..

[Fedora Project Board]
( list of nominees)
Joe    [0]
John  [0]
Mary [0]
etc..

[FESCO]
( list of nominees)
Siri             [0]
Robertino  [0]
Martines    [0]
etc..

[FamSCo]
( list of nominees)
Lisa       [0]
Robert  [0]
Mike      [0]
etc..

The above would simplified the process and more likely than not raise 
awareness and participation in voting for another governing body in the 
community.

People that dont "care" or otherwise dont want to participate in voting 
for any of the governing body's being presented to them would just leave 
the default [0] for the nominees in the relevant section unchanged when 
submitting the vote.

Of course participation should be measured and compared to previous 
participation in the project should this be implemented.
