What would be the rationale for having different rules in the second
election?

For reference, the procedure for Council elections is this [1]:

   If the pseudo-candidate '_reopen_nominations' appears in 7th place
   or higher those candidates that rank above '_reopen_nominations'
   will be the current council. A second period of nominations will
   be opened for the remaining council seats. No third period of
   nominations will be opened in the event '_repoen_nominations'
   ranks higher than the candidates necessary to fill the council.
