BeckyLou Posted October 31, 2019 at 09:10 PM Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 at 09:10 PM Specifically referring to election for Board of Directors. We have an HOA. Most lots have more than one owner, some by marriage, some by partnership of purchase. The by laws state that only 1 (one) vote per lot can be cast in elections. Can more than one member of 1 lot be nominated for the board? Say partners or spouses? There is nothing addressing this in the by laws.

RONR has no limitations regarding who may be a member of the board. So in the absence on any rules in your bylaws or applicable law governing this matter, I would say there is nothing preventing the nomination or election of owners from the same lot, partners, or spouses to the board. If the members see a problem with this arrangement, they can elect other persons. Alternately, the organization may adopt its own rules on this matter in its bylaws.
