Electronic Voting

Our Board participates in electronic voting to approve expenditures that were approved and are finalized. We have 9 Directors, so we often have difficulty getting a unanimous vote which is needed for passage. If we have 8 Directors who vote yes, may that be considered a quorum and it passes? If not, is there some way we can have our attorney create a resolution to add to our documents that permits this action of always having to have a quorum but not necessarily all 9 Directors needing to vote??

Thank you,

What do your documents say about this "electronic" voting, which usually is called "taking action without a meeting?" This probably is in your Bylaws. And your Bylaws probably reflect state HOA or corporation codes on this topic. If any of these say that the vote by email must be unanimous, then your attorney can't change it to say you only need a quorum (in your case 5).

My question is why does your Board need an additional vote for expenditures that already were "approved" and "finalized?"
