Frequently Asked Questions

What does an Inspector of Elections do for an HOA?

An Inspector of Elections is an independent third party who oversees your association's board election from nominations through certified results, confirming eligibility, safeguarding ballots, and certifying the final count under California Civil Code §5110.

Does every California HOA election require an independent inspector?

Most contested director elections, recalls, and votes on assessments or governing document changes do, under the Davis-Stirling Act. A board member or manager generally cannot serve in this role due to conflict of interest.

What is election by acclamation?

When the number of qualified candidates is equal to or fewer than the open board seats, an association may be able to skip the ballot count entirely and seat those candidates by acclamation, following a separate nomination and notice process.

Can our association vote electronically?

Yes. Under AB 2159, effective 2024, California HOAs can offer secure electronic voting alongside or instead of paper ballots, with member consent handled according to the law's requirements.

How far in advance should we contact an inspector?

Most associations should reach out as soon as the annual meeting date is set, generally 90 to 120 days ahead, to leave enough time for nominations, ballot preparation, and required notice periods.
