Can you suspend homeowners votes for annual?

Short answer no - from http://www.davis-stirling.com/index.html

SUSPENDING VOTING RIGHTS
Too many boards improperly suspend voting rights automatically when an owner is delinquent. To suspend voting rights, boards must do the following:

1. In Bylaws. The procedure for suspending voting rights must be in the articles or bylaws. In the alternative, it must be annually sent to all members. Corp. Code §7341(c)(1)

2. Notice of Hearing. The person must be given written notice by either personal delivery or first-class mail, at least 10 days prior to the meeting at which voting rights will be suspended (unless the governing documents provide for a longer notice period). Civil Code §1363(h) The notice must be reasonably calculated to provide actual notice to the member. Corp. Code §7341(d) The notice must contain the following:
a. The date, time, and place of the hearing,
b. The nature of the alleged violation for which a member may be disciplined, and
c. A statement that the member has a right to attend the hearing and present evidence in his/her defense. Civil Code §1363(h)

3. Executive Session. Hearings should always be in executive session. Civil Code §1363(h); Civil Code §1363.05(b) Members have the right to submit their defense in writing rather than make an appearance before the board. Corp. Code §7341(c)(3)

4. Decision. If the board suspends the member's voting rights, notice of the suspension must be given by personal delivery or first-class mail within 15 days following the board's decision Civil Code §1363(h) (unless the governing documents provide a shorter notice requirement) and at least 5 days prior to the effective date of the suspension. Corp. Code §7341(c)(3) Once imposed, suspension of voting rights may continue until such time as the violation ceases.

Tammy,
I am not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean the entire membership/ annual meeting or an individual. I am thinking that you mean the annual election in general. Tell us what you are referring to.

Tammy the question you asked was if the H/O can be suspended if NOT STATED in the CC&R's. The law clearly states that the right to suspend MUST be in the By-Laws, the H/O must be notified and given an opportunity to appeal.

Ohio changed the law to allow BOD's to suspend voting & common element privileges to people who are 30 days in arrears. They do not specify an appeal process for this; I think I prefer CA's statute.

Tammy,

I read your mispelling as "notated". Which is it because it really makes a big difference. LOL

In an Indiana HOA, is this ruling the same for suspending voting rights?

Glen,

Just out of curiosity why would you think this might be covered in corp. laws? In an HOA members' voting rights are suspended if delinquent in payment of assessments or in violation of the CCRs. These don't apply to corp's and I can't think of any reason a shareholder would have his voting rights suspended.
