Yeah, I suspect much of the confusion came from the (unintentionally) misleading text in the original email which said, "Rank them in the order in which you prefer them for that role.". I almost ranked them 1-6 before reading the full voting page. My vote (no pun intended) would be, given the vote was only put out a few hours ago, to tell everyone the first vote is being thrown away (without revealing the voting results), and give everyone the opportunity to vote again now that it's been made clear how the weighting works.
