I would have also liked the ability to vote for N candidates (where N =
number of positions being elected). Otherwise, I feel that I have to vote
strategically to get a good selection of candidates (i.e. is there someone
I think will get a lot of votes and thus I can use my vote on someone I
think we have complementary skills/balance.

Alternatively, I'm a big fan of transferable vote systems.
