That's however the duty of each and every single community member, neither the one of council nor BoD. Both entities serve the community and pick up on whatever is happening there, done by regular users. The council occasionally may suggest ideas, or bring news to the general community public's notice. Not much more that either entity can - and should - do for the community's evolvement. It's you who evolve or at least drive any such evolution, not the council or BoD evolving anything for you.

Probably offtopic but... I can not login with my TMO account to vote. Do I need to make a new account for maemo.org?

Re: [Elections] HiFo Board of Directors election announcement
 

Yes, it seems that you need maemo.org in order to vote. Then, you can request voting token on voting page of current election.
I am not sure if there are any restrictions on new-ness of maemo.org accounts.
Best wishes.

There generally is: GARAGE Accounts have to be at least 3 months old. And user needs a minimum of 10 for karma. Though during this elections term the former council has defined a certain exception rule that is:
since the services been broken (and karma calculation still is, to a certain degree), you are free to write a mail to council@maemo.org, state your garage account and email in garage account and provide pointers to contributions to maemo that prove that you're no bloody newcomer but have been "with maemo" for >3 months, and council will do its best to mail a token to you. This is not limited by any karma you have or don't have achieved.
Also there's a very small number of maemo community members that for various reasons haven't received any mail with ballot/token despite they (now) fulfill all the karma and account-age requirements. We ecplicitly invite those community members to also bring their issue to the council, by mail, exactly like explained above.

Voted. Your turn.

Re: [Elections] HiFo Board of Directors election announcement
 

Oh, bum. That would explain it then. My garage account is only about a week old with karma = 0.
But at least the error message might have been a bit more helpful than,

The e-mail address and username you gave do not match an existing voter, or you have already voted.

...while being logged with and my full name shown proudly in the top right corner ;)
