This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding property management and voting procedures within condominium and community associations. Notably, it introduces provisions allowing meetings of unit owners' associations and boards of directors to be conducted via online or virtual platforms, overriding any conflicting association documents. Additionally, it modifies the voting process by stipulating that votes must be cast in person or by absentee ballot for in-person meetings, or by written ballot for virtual meetings, while eliminating the option for proxy voting after the declarant control period.

The bill also establishes specific requirements for absentee and written ballots, including the necessity for ballots to state the required quorum and approval percentages for actions, as well as the timeline for ballot delivery. It mandates that associations deliver ballots to eligible members at least ten days before the voting deadline and allows for electronic delivery methods. Furthermore, it clarifies that timely delivered ballots will count towards quorum requirements and retains the obligation for associations to maintain voting materials for inspection for at least one year post-election. Overall, these changes aim to enhance transparency and accessibility in the governance of community associations.
