Steve's term had another year to run, I believe. So we want to ignore that and simply go to elections of five and two instead of four and three, alternate years? Or we could have the winning candidate getting the fewest votes fill the remainder of Steve's term, which is one year. In the event of a tie, flip a coin or draw lots. I'd rather something along the lines of the later, so we could keep the number of candidates each election year as it has been.
