So that only those who already have team experience are voting, perhaps do your leadership election at the end of the season prior to the one in which they will lead, the way many sports teams elect captains. So, for example, elect next year's leaders sometime soon. (This may not work this year while in the middle of an overhaul).

As others have suggested, get a school administrator on your side.
In addition you and your teammates could write a team handbook that puts policies in place. This will likely have pushback, but if there are things that the mentors want (like an attendance policy or something), give it to them to get what you want (like reasonable limits on their power).
I'm also curious, do you know why Alumni are allowed to have a say in current leadership? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but maybe your team has a good reason.
