This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning condominiums and planned communities, specifically amending sections 33-1250 and 33-1812. Key changes include the introduction of provisions allowing votes to be cast by absentee ballot at duly noticed meetings, and the inclusion of electronic voting methods. The bill also establishes clearer eligibility criteria for voting and candidacy for board positions, ensuring that community documents cannot impose more restrictive requirements than those specified in the bill. Additionally, it mandates that the results of elections and ballot measures be communicated to all unit owners and outlines the responsibilities of the board of directors in maintaining the integrity of the voting process.

The bill also introduces new definitions and clarifies existing terms, such as "delegate" and "delivered," to enhance understanding of the voting process. It imposes penalties for tampering with ballots and outlines the procedures for addressing challenges to election validity. Furthermore, it ensures that associations provide equal opportunities for dissenting members to communicate their positions on ballot measures. Overall, these updates aim to improve transparency, accountability, and fairness in the governance of condominiums and planned communities.
