Annual Meeting Voting Procedures

To ensure a fair election that reflects the preference of the Unit Owners, I would like to see the following procedures applied in any contested Director election.  Most of these procedures are required either by our condominium instruments or Robert's Rules of Order.

       Proxies that have neither the votes for the candidates nor the name of the person who is to vote on the behalf of the absent unit owner are to be voted proportionately for the candidates based on the proportions each candidate received of the other votes cast.

       The total number of votes cast and the number of votes each candidate received are to be reported to the attendees of the annual meeting as soon as the vote counting is final.

       To be elected, a candidate must receive a majority of the votes cast.  The voting must be repeated as necessary until all vacancies are filled by majority votes.

       Each unit's vote is to be weighted according to the par value of the unit.

       Candidates are to be allowed to observe the vote counting and tabulation, or to have a representative of their choice do that observation.
