Proxy Form Accuracy

My NNJ annual election is February 8. We have 2 Boards, an HOA that governs the single-family and townhouse owners/common areas to all, and a COA that governs townhouse owners/common areas to townhouse owners. The director term is up for the current COA President, he is not running for the COA but is seeking a director position on the HOA. The HOA and COA Proxy Forms state the names of those that have declared they are running. The HOA Proxy form has the name of the COA President with an asterisk next to it. Then defines the asterisk to mean "Incumbent seeking re-election". Does anyone have a comment on the accuracy of the Proxy Form?

JosephW,

Exactly, seemed obvious to me. I did request a change to the HOA BOD or at the very least a clarification to the Association. My suspicion is that the vote ballots at election time will also have the asterisk, which I believe at that point will definitely need to be challenged.

I don't think it was intentional to deceive, but do think it's a material error that should be corrected. It is historically difficult to unseat incumbents. The last time it happened in a presidential election was with George Bush senior.
