We are to finally have a special meeting on Sunday to elect a valid board for our HOA. This has been a long, uphill struggle for months. (The individuals on the current board were never elected and refuse to leave!) One of the individuals helping with the election, wants to distribute a ballot to every homeowner with the instruction to return it before Sunday. This way there will be no confrontations and our objective for a new board has been met.

I don't think this is the proper way to hold the election. We've come this far and I hate to blow it now.

Can I get some feedback,please.

Judith H : Could this other helpful suggestion have come straight from Satan ? Tough to think of a better way to taint or throw gas on the fire.

( Amongst the whacky condo Requisition or Recall defences struck down by courts here include:

" The statute specifies the Requisition Document must be "written & signed". But the text was word-processed. So is invalid !"

" There are multiple sheets instead of a single Requisition document - so invalid !"

Another whacky but non-condo defence :
"Your list of Requisitioners was one short - so invalid ! " ( a defence abandoned within weeks after the police arrested the Exec Director for fleeing the scene of an accident after driving the corporation's vehicle into an off-duty police officer's truck . . . driving without a driving licence . . driving in contravention of an ignition interlock order . . . evading arrest . . .)

Judith : the suggestion you got of course was "ballot", not "Proxy for quorum & whatever specific.."

Judith,

Check the laws of your state for voting in both HOA's and for non-profit corporations.

Many states, including my own, require that any election provide for voting by absentee ballot as well as in-person voting.
