So excited to meet the new candidates at GenCon!!
One of the things I remember from the last go around electing a First Seeker was a sort of 'tension,' between voting for what your character(s) want, and what you as a Player want. Like, while none of my Society heroes particularly agreed with Tara Nova's "let's make those jinsuls rue the day they picked a fight with the Starfinders!" agenda, I thought, as a player, that the a tale of teetering on the brink of revenge could've been a fun Season! There's also a number of Society players who have multiple PCs, who may have different thoughts, and different preferences based on the characters.
Anyways - is it possible for each person to have two (or even three?) votes? And they can decide how to divvy them up themselves? You could spread your votes around based on what you as a player want vs what you as character(s) want, or go all in on one thing you feel strongly about, or assign one vote per PC, or whatever else!

One vote per player, but how do we feel about a ranked choice ballot? (hopefully positively because, uh, that's the plan)

I wouldn't say 1 vote per character, because that wouldn't be fair to the new players or players with fewer characters.
Preferential voting is a good way to solve it. I feel much like "it's what my character would do" situations, you're the one figuratively steering the boat. I voted last time on what I thought would be fun Society plot direction. Didn't get it.
With preferential voting, I can weight my continued fun vs who my 1-4 characters like their ideas the best. As my 1-4s are currently a fey space pirate, a hellish Talent Resources Manager, a delusion mystic and a Skittermander who's backpack is a cooler full of mostly beer, I don't think their opinions are neccessarily the most... well thought out or cooperative.

You son of a bantrid, I'm in! Seriously though, being able to show varying levels of support for >1 candidate is exactly what I was looking for :)

I just realized the only eligible 1-4 level voter I have is the one who only cares about hunting for cultists of the Great Old Ones! Total single issue voter. I wonder if anyone will win him over
Mine only one is a skittermander who tends to get a little too caught up in helping. So, I feel you.

As a single issue, that's a really good one. Most, maybe all except my 702, are on board. Good thing I have a number of low tier GM babies to put this credit on.
