I'm unsure what to do in this situation. I do not want to force someone to run if they don't want to because I would not want anyone to be stuck in a position of such responsibility if they hadn't wanted it in the first place.
Why would you wait until the day before elections to ask for advice?

Anyway, does your constitution/bylaws have any exception clause (ex. in the event two people aren't running, this is what you do)? If not, you need to get it included. In the meantime, ask your current exec board if an exception can be granted for your situation.
