> Do you know if council members can be re-elected?

Yes, they can, and likely will be in many cases.

Thanks, that's what I figured. So the vote would be a formality most of the time and not something revolutionary.

Well, it creates a way for other members of the core team to replace someone they disagree with without having to call for a no-confidence vote all the time. I don't know what you mean by "revolutionary", but the point of these kinds of councils is to uphold the vision and principles of the language, and so long as the people in the council are making the correct calls in those regards, there would be no reason to replace them.
