Location is Pflugerville Texas so need answers/suggestions only that are applicable to Texas law.
Board meeting to elect 2 board members: 2 with expiring terms. Both were running and each had an opponent:
1. Board members did not moderate the meeting and the property representative from the management company moderated
2. There was a property member who submitted proxies that were not allowed because it was stated that they missed the deadline to submit
3. The proxies that were submitted by the 2 existing board members were counted before the meeting by the moderator and were not allowed to be seen by the members who tallied the votes cast at the meeting. She claims to have counted them and added to the tally given her by the counters.
4. The vote was 96 votes each for the existing board member candidates and 24 votes each for each of the opposing candidates.
5. There were numerous attempts by one of the candidates to obtain a list of eligible voters from the property management company. Eventually told she would have to make an appointment to view the list at their offices in Round Rock though Texas state law does state that the list has to be made available within 2 days and IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF THE HOA, in Pflugerville, Tx.
6. The two current board members attempted to contact members of the community to obtain proxies but did not have a ballot listing all candidates on the proxies they were asking homeowners to sign as well as, we believe telling the homeowners that they would date the forms themselves.
There are a number of other irregularities which were addressed in the meeting before the election to address the irregularities and were attempted to be silenced by the moderator because they were not on the agenda (there was no notification of any kind issued to the community to request any additional items to the agenda).
This is a culmination of other irregularities by these board members to circumvent the organizing documents and bypass community votes.
