If the secretary of our HOA receives the vote count from our resent board member election is she required to enter the count into the open meeting minutes & post them in the clubhouse where all members of the community will know the results? The election was held at an open HOA meeting.

James, the minutes should include the names of candidates and who was elected. The count is usually not shown but the results could be challenged at the meeting before annoucing those who were elected. It would be nice but not required to post the results. You can request a copy of the minutes but it is better to attend the meeting.

Wouldn't whether or not to post the number of votes received by each candidate depend on the requirements of state law and/or the governing documents?

If the meeting is held according to Roberts Rules and the election or vote is by secret ballot, then the vote tally must be announced and entered into the minutes (page 403).

The president announces the results of the election, which may or may not include the count. But the minutes should state the election results, based on the vote count.
