This bill proposes several updates to the current statutes regarding voting procedures in condominiums and planned communities. It introduces new provisions that allow for votes to be cast by delegates, expands the methods for absentee ballot submission to include electronic formats, and mandates that associations provide options for both electronic and paper ballots. Additionally, the bill specifies that ballots must clearly identify the number of board positions available and the candidates, while also ensuring that eligibility requirements for voting and candidacy are not overly restrictive. The bill also establishes a framework for maintaining the integrity of the voting process, including provisions for challenges to election results.

Key deletions from the current law include the removal of outdated language regarding voting methods and the elimination of provisions that allowed for proxy voting. The bill also clarifies the definitions of terms such as "delegate" and "metadata," and introduces the concept of "substantive violations" related to voting irregularities. Overall, the proposed changes aim to enhance transparency, accessibility, and accountability in the voting processes of condominium and planned community associations.
