Legal reference

Remote and electronic voting by owners in Chile

Short answer

Yes, with conditions. Assembly sessions may be in person, remote (telematic) or mixed. Virtual participation, by videoconference or similar means, can be agreed in the community's reglamento de copropiedad, which must set requirements and conditions that ensure effective and simultaneous participation and voting, and also meet the rules and requirements of the law's regulation.

What this means in practice

Remote sessions are therefore not open by default to every community: the reglamento has to provide for them and set the conditions. Some matters can also be decided by written consultation, with a mechanism that reliably assures the identity of those taking part.

General information, not legal advice. Check with a lawyer in Chile before relying on it, and read your building's own documents: they can change how a rule applies.

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.
