By trusting the electorate to make its own decision.

Or a shared seat (maybe 6 months for each person). Obviously if the top 20
people all have the same number of votes then we have a problem. But then
it is equally clear that the electorate didnt come to a consensus, so
there would be a much bigger problem. Maybe run the election again with a
new set of candidates?
