The company appeared to overlook specific requirements our HOA bylaws and election rules when conducting a recent election: it missed that quorum included members present at the meeting who didn't mail in a ballot are part of quorum membership requirements (per our bylaws). While our management company and especially our board should be familiar with HOA election requirements and insisted the meeting must be called to order, through an email the latter canceled the meeting 2 1/2 hours before it was supposed to start saying quorum was unmet. This election inspector company must know that this can only be done after calling the meeting to order, determine membership quorum at the meeting and allow the membership (not the board) to vote to adjourn it in accordance to our bylaws and election rules if quorum is not met, and hold a subsequent meeting within 5 to 30 days. Even though this company has a CAI membership, I don't recommend it because its appeared careless in allowing this to happen and it costs too much money for this kind of election challenge exposure. If the election inspection company deviates from the basics, why even have an independent election inspector? This is exactly why the HOA election laws were revised in 2020. read more
