Remote and electronic voting by owners in Croatia
In a limited way. If, because of the building's size or other justified reasons, a meeting cannot be convened with the majority needed for a decision, the co-owners' representative or another interested co-owner can obtain consent by collecting signatures on a written decision, or by e-mail if the co-owner asks for that, with proof of identity or a qualified electronic signature. A decision reached this way binds all co-owners.
What the law says
Ako se zbog veličine zgrade ili zbog drugih opravdanih razloga ne može sazvati sastanak suvlasnika s potrebnom većinom za donošenje odluke iz članka 37. ovoga Zakona, predstavnik suvlasnika ili drugi zainteresirani suvlasnik za donošenje odluke pribavit će suglasnost suvlasnika prikupljanjem potpisa na napisanu odluku ili putem elektroničke pošte, ako suvlasnik to zatraži, uz dokaz identiteta ili s kvalificiranim elektroničkim potpisom. (2) Odluka donesena na način propisan u stavku 1. ovoga članka obvezujuća je za sve suvlasnike.Last verified:
What this means in practice
This is not an online meeting and not a state e-voting platform: the act describes no procedure for a remote meeting, and the electronic channel it provides is e-mail, at the owner's request and with proof of identity or a qualified electronic signature. The representative must post the decision on the noticeboard or, if the owner asks, send it by e-mail.
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.
