Helots were state-owned serfs, and enslaved non-Spartan local population. Any badgers or wolverines should be labeled appropriately, no?

Good idea.

No need to vote, it's an admin decision since there are no privileges involved. Obviously, if they're voted into the Gerousia, then their rank is reset to Geronte.

I like Perioeci better:

The perioeci, or perioikoi, were the members of an autonomous group of free but non-citizen inhabitants of Sparta. Concentrated in the beach and highland areas of Laconia, the name περίοικοι derives from περί, peri, "around," and οἶκος, oikos, "dwelling, house." They were the only people allowed to travel to other cities, which the Spartans were not, unless given permission.

The perioeci had the rights to own lands, and belonged to the civic army the same title as equals: they were hoplites in the army and epibastes in the navy. They could not participate in any political decisions and could not marry Spartan men or women.

I don’t think that making light of Sparta’s shameful treatment of Helots is something we should do tbh
