A minor edit to make it clearer:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Continuity

Before the election, the election committee defines how many vacant seats
are "one year term" seats and how many vacant seats are "two year term"
seats.

One year term seats will only be defined if there would be fewer than two
seats to be filled at the following annual election.  In this case the
number of one year seats is calculated so that two seats will have to be
filled at the following annual election.

The elected members are assigned in descending order of number of votes. The
two year term seats are filled first, and then the one year term seats.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think the final sentence should go into the section on "Voting".
