Remote and electronic voting by owners in Arizona
After the declarant control period ends, votes allocated to a unit in an Arizona condominium may not be cast by proxy. The association must provide for votes to be cast in person and by absentee ballot, and may also provide for voting by another form of delivery, including e-mail and fax.
What the law says
Notwithstanding any provision in the condominium documents, after termination of the period of declarant control, votes allocated to a unit may not be cast pursuant to a proxy. The association shall provide for votes to be cast in person and by absentee ballot and, in addition, the association may provide for voting by some other form of delivery, including the use of e-mail and fax delivery.Last verified:
Also relevant
Votes cast by absentee ballot or other form of delivery, including the use of e-mail and fax delivery, are valid for the purpose of establishing a quorum.What this means in practice
Arizona allows electronic delivery of ballots; its condominium and planned-community sections do not describe an internet voting system of the kind Florida regulates. Ballots delivered this way are valid for establishing a quorum. A ballot is valid for one specified election or meeting, must allow at least seven days from delivery of the unvoted ballot, and may not authorize another person to vote. Ballots and related materials must be kept and open to owner inspection for at least one year. The condominium section accepts an actual or electronic signature; the planned-community section says only signature, a difference this page does not resolve.
Where Unitify fits
Unitify records votes and keeps the result. It does not run video meetings of its own and does not by itself satisfy an identification or signature rule of your law. Whether a vote taken this way counts depends on the law above and on your own rules.
