What this means in practice
Proxies may not be used in electing the board, and a unit owner may not authorize another person to vote the owner's ballot, except that an association of 10 or fewer units may provide different procedures in its bylaws by a majority of the total voting interests. An election is not required unless more candidates file or are nominated than there are vacancies. This page covers board elections in residential condominiums under chapter 718.
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.
