HOA board of director election

I am in California. Is board election is a cumulative voting? We have 3 position in board of directors. If the vote results end with 2 of nomination wins, remaining candidate has same votes. What is next step? Our CC&R does not have detail direction regarding to this case.

Here is one example, if A,B,C,D,E are all candidate, 9 members in vote.
If A has 6 votes, B have 6 votes, C,D,E are all have 5 votes. They are all above 51%. What is the next step cumulative vote system support ?

Is A and B are consider the winner and vote re-open for C,D,E to pickup the highest votes?

Is there any reference I can read?

Thanks

Linda

I would say it is up to the members, you could ask the remaining candidate's
would a they consider a drawing? since its not stated it is up to the members.

In your Bylaws there may be a provision that allows for cumulative voting. This is where units are allowed to put all their votes toward one individual or divide them accordingly. So if you had 5 people running for three position, a unit owner could cast all their votes for one candidate, cast one vote for three candidate, or maybe two votes for one and one for another. Cumulative voting was put into the Bylaws to keep the develop in control of a Board while they were building the community.
