Quorum and majorities at the owners' meeting in Ecuador
On first call the quorum is formed by owners with the right to vote who represent more than 50 per cent of the property's alícuotas. On second call the quorum is the owners with the right to vote who are present.
What the law says
El quórum para las reuniones de la Asamblea General, en primera convocatoria, estará integrado por la concurrencia de un número de copropietarios con derecho a voto, que represente más del 50% de las alícuotas de propiedad del inmueble constituido en condominio o declarado en propiedad horizontal. En segunda convocatoria, el quórum quedará establecido con el número de copropietarios con derecho a voto, que se encuentren presentes.Last verified:
What this means in practice
A decree of August 2026 replaced the third paragraph of the same article, which deals with the right to vote at the assembly; that paragraph is not covered here and should be read in the official text.
Where Unitify fits
Unitify records how each owner votes and shows participation (units voted out of the units invited) and the result. Whether a meeting has a quorum and a decision passes is decided by the law above and your own rules; the record helps you check it.
