Hm, after cursory examination (the code is here and instructions here) I think it's quite doable. Token generation and emailing are distinct, separate steps, and the database schema is already designed to hold multiple concurrent elections.

I think modifying the system would take too much time again. I just want it to finish...
The only modification needed would be to make scripts/mail-instructions.pl grab all elections' tokens and insert them in the template (in fact it already partially supports multiple name/email/token substitutions into the same template). Then you'd just run scripts/create-tmp-tokens.pl 9 times to generate the tokens and scripts/mail-instructions.pl once. It looks like about an afternoon's work, I'm pretty sure the maemo.org maintenance budget can handle that, especially since we didn't have a council election ;-)
