Our HOA has two  classes of Memberships -  providing for Voting and non-voting members.

Non voting can attend, and participate in  general meetings but have no right to vote unless they are carrying a proxy from a voting member. Given the limitations our ByLaws have placed on Non Voting Members there is a current debate as to whether or not they are eligible for nomination, and possible election to the Board. Applicable references are as below.

1.6  “Voting Member” means a member of the  Society who is in good standing and thereby has the right to vote.

a) “Non-Voting Member” means a Member of the Society who has the right to attend, and participate in Society meetings, but has no right to vote, other than by an authorized proxy.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thank you...much appreciated

The person was elected, he was not filling in the remainder of a term. The elections are not currently staggered, we have to incorporate wording in our By-laws to make that possible.. And that is something  that we should probably do. Any suggestions on appropriate wording?

Our By Laws provide that our Board of Directors will be elected for a two year term. Last AGM a  Director was elected for a one year term of office notwithstanding the By Law. No one objected, and no point of order was raised. So the question is, and notwithstanding the election being incorrect, was the Director elected for two years because of the By Law, or one year because no one raised a point of order?  Any advice would be appreciated so the matter is dealt with properly this year.
