Annual Meeting

You've provided no information. How long are the terms? How long has each person served. What do your governing documents say in regards to elections, etc, etc, etc?

I am assuming they cannot get a Quorum. Did it ever occur to you the reason is people are happy and like the way it is?

The OP doesn't provide much info so I'll make some assumptions. I would guess that a quorum was not met and the governing documents or local laws provide for a follow up meeting with a reduced quorum in that case, which the board did not hold. Most jurisdictions do not have an HOA ombudsman or other government agency to act as "HOA police" so owners are on their own.

Typically the enforcement method for governing docs and state HOA law violations would be via the courts, i.e. suing. This is expensive and time consuming and rarely happens.

Realistically, your best course of action might be to work to get a quorum next year, possibly using proxies if they are allowed by your state and governing docs. This could involve going door to door talking to owners, emailing, posting to Nextdoor, a Facebook group, or any other social media platform that your neighborhood uses. Hopefully there are others that feel the same way you do and would help with that process. Reading a bit more into your post, I assume there are other candidates (possibly yourself) that are interested in running. You should include campaigning for those candidates in your "get out the vote" efforts.

To see any change, it is most likely going to take more than a few owners showing up at the annual meeting and rueing the fact that you don't have a quorum. It will take some level of work by yourself or others.

Finally, if the large majority of members are happy with the status quo, this could just keep happening.

If it's a membership meeting then the members attending it, even if less than a quorum, can vote to "Fix the Time to Which to Adjourn". The meeting becomes an "adjourned meeting" and when it re-convenes it's technically the same meeting. Use the time to drum up support by soliciting proxies and convincing people to attend. If it's that important and enough people want it, it shouldn't be too hard.

Yes, of course. My un-tested belief is that this motion would benefit many but is used very infrequently because of ignorance. I can envision a dozen objections to voting for such a motion, each one making less sense than the last, and all emanating from a position of ignorance.

Check your governing documents if you haven'y already done so. Find out how long a term lasts.

If there was a failure to achieve a quorum at the past meeting, an governing documents state that members do not have to keep trying to achieve a quorum, then the members can hold their spots until the next annual meeting.
