Quorum and majorities at the owners' meeting in Vietnam
The annual conference of the building is held once a year when at least 30 per cent of the representatives of owners of handed-over apartments attend, or fewer if the owners agreed a lower figure at the first conference. Decisions are adopted by the majority of the votes of the owners and users who attend.
What the law says

Các quyết định của Hội nghị nhà chung cư được thông qua theo nguyên tắc đa số phiếu biểu quyết của các chủ sở hữu, người sử dụng tham dự Hội nghị nhà chung cư.What this means in practice
The 30 per cent rises to 50 per cent when the annual conference also decides on electing or dismissing the management board or renewing the operating contract; an extraordinary conference needs 50 per cent, or 75 per cent of those who petitioned for it. Attendance is counted in people (representatives of owners), while voting is weighted by area: one square metre of privately owned area is one vote.
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.
