As the Attorney General, I don't believe I have any legal authority here, but because I'm a nice guy, I'll look at this and offer some free advice.
The first
voting booth simply said vote for 3 but did not specify the voting method. All voters voted as if the election were using approval voting. So this election resulted in 0 valid ballots and a 4 way tie among 4 candidates.
The
Mideast Constitution only addresses vacancies and does not address the event of a tie.
1. This a flaw in the Constitution that must be fixed.
2. The governor could try holding a second election (which has happened) or appoint members (which as happened) but because this was the result of a tie and not a vacancy a member of the region would have a strong case that the governor does not have the power to do either one of these since it is not stated in the Constitution.
If you want to be safe, work on a Constitutional Amendment that would that would address what to do in the event of a tie, pass it, then implement that method.
