In HOA you get 1 vote per household no matter how big the household is. So yeah, it is different but this is not really relevant to the problem at hand. I agree. Conducting a vote means the quorum requirements (if any) have been met. However logic is not something the HOA boards typically use when dealing with unfavorable (for them) circumstances. This might be just my impression but they can be quite adversarial.

@Joshua Katz All I have in CC&Rs is this and a reference to Robert's Rules, 11th ed., pp. 21, 345 by the association manager:

My HOA board is holding a vote via mail-in ballots on quite an unpopular amendment to CC&Rs. It requires a majority of all members to vote yes in order to pass. The deadline for receiving ballots has been moved twice already and the justification given is "lack of quorum". The election inspector is providing updates about the number of votes received to the HOA board and the board votes on extending the deadline. The question about the number of times the HOA board is allowed to move the deadline has been answered with - there is no limit. Is quorum something that applies to mail-in vote at all? Can voting procedure be stretched out indefinitely? What other problems do you see in this picture?
