There are all kinds of residency and membership seniority rules in a wide variety of organizations, from villages to nonprofits.
Make a rule that says you have to be a member in good standing for at least 13 months in order to vote, 25 months to stand for any position below leader, and 37 months to stand for leader.
That's far from ideal, but having a system vulnerable to hijacking is worse. At least this would require long term planning and extended infiltration. The infiltrators would be exposed to and forced to follow the party line for long enough that maybe they'd even change.
