Can be done using a configuration string, not a big deal. But not a big
deal to do it inside the application. There's no such thing as a "simpler"
solution here. In one case we will have to update production configuration
to prepare election, with the other some extra CRUD code to set adequate
LDAP attributes.

I prefer to use jenkins.io ID vs arbitrary string, so one can link to
profile, github, gravatar, etc.

So, you want this app to just collect the votes, not handle the election
process ?  I had in mind to
use info.gehrels.voting:singleTransferableVoteElections for this purpose,
so this is a fully automated solution.
