In a Florida HOA, if an amendment is proposed to the owners, does the ballot have to have the signature of the owner along with the yes or no vote? This is not on a LImited Proxy as I realize that does have to be signed to be valid.

Voting is supposed to be private and anonymous. Those Members voting AT the meeting do not have to ID their vote, neither does a proxy vote. The proxy form ballot (carried by the proxy holder) OR the mail-in ballot should have been double enveloped, to protect the name of the voter.

Nancy,
An owners signature along with the unit number or address is required on any amendment proposal vote in Florida. The correct way to do it is to have the designated voter/owners signature on the outside envelope and the actual ballot with the vote is enclosed inside without any signature.

Thanks DonnaS!you wouldn't happen to know the law that required the signature on the amendment proposal would you? This particular amendment is getting sticky as they will be voting to include a restriction of 55+ and the current documents contain a vested rights clause, therefore we need to know who votes no.
