Our Board went out to ask for approval for CC&R/Bylaws documents sent out. Two-hundred and ninety-nine residents. Votes received were 180 enough to meet the quorum number for votes. Board wants to extend the voting because they feel they need more of a cushion to hopefully get 150 yes votes to pass the revisions. Residents feel that we have received enough votes so let's move forward. Board insists that we extend the voting period, this will be the second time the extension period has been extended.
We say let's count the votes and if it passes fine and if not the issue is dead.

Carol,

Election day is election day. You might include votes that are postmarked by that day but changing the deadline itself, in my opinion, should not be done.

Do your governing documents say anything about this?

Carol,
I would be very concerned at this point if the Board did not goof and made some mistake it noticing the changes that are going to be made. I know our documents for a condo in SC required that elaborate measures had to be taken to show the old language and the language that changes the documents. Also, the purpose of the meeting would be to address each of these amendments separately. The purpose of the notice of the meeting is to hold public (owner) comment on each and every change made. Now you can draw up new documents and negate the old and adopt the new but I think that is not an amendment it is something else and really demanding, again under you document provisions, any state statute and probably non-profit laws.
