FWIW: I know of no legal requirement regarding how membership or
director elections are held per se, only as to various ancillary
aspects (e.g. notification, quorum, ability to participate, recording
of results, etc). The rest is simply whatever your bylaws dictate.

You could have those bylaws explicitly state the rules of your
consensus based decisionmaking process, and it'd be just as legit as a
vote.
