Introducing Online Voting for California HOAs

California Homeowners' Associations (HOAs) can now take advantage of electronic voting, providing a modern, secure, and efficient way to conduct elections. Under Civil Code Section 5110(c), electronic voting is authorized for HOA elections, offering a streamlined and user-friendly alternative to traditional paper ballots.

Why Choose Online Voting?

Simplify the Election Process

Online voting eliminates the need for paper ballots, reduces administrative costs, and makes the election process faster and more efficient.

Increased Participation

Voting is made easier for homeowners, encouraging greater involvement and higher voter turnout.

Cost-Efficient

No more postage, printing, or physical ballots – online voting cuts down on unnecessary election expenses.

Preparing for Electronic Voting

To implement electronic voting, HOAs must update their Election Rules to permit online voting. This change aligns with California’s Civil Code Section 5110(c).

Steps for Implementation:

  1. Review and Update Election Rules: Work with your legal counsel to ensure your rules are in compliance.
  2. Adopt Rules 90 Days Before the Election: Amendments to the Election Rules must be approved at least 90 days before an election.
