§ 3-110. Voting; proxies
(a) If only one of multiple owners of a unit is present at an association meeting, that owner is entitled to all the votes allocated to that unit. If more than one of the owners are present, the votes allocated to that unit may be cast only in accordance with the agreement of a majority in interest of the owners, unless the declaration provides otherwise. There is majority agreement if any one of the owners casts the votes allocated to that unit without prompt protest by any of the other unit owners.
(b) Votes allocated to a unit may be cast pursuant to a proxy executed by a unit owner. If a unit is owned by more than one person, each owner may vote or register protest to the voting by the other owners of the unit through a proxy. A unit owner may revoke a proxy only by actual notice of revocation to the person presiding over the association meeting. A proxy is void if it is not dated or purports to be revocable without notice. A proxy terminates one year after the date executed, unless a shorter term is specified.
(c) If the declaration requires that votes on specified matters affecting the common interest community be cast by lessees rather than unit owners of leased units, subsections (a) and (b) of this section apply to lessees, the lessees are entitled to notice of meetings; access to records and other rights regarding those matters as if they were unit owners; and the unit owners who have leased their units to other persons may not vote on those specified matters. Unit owners shall also be notified of all meetings at which lessees are entitled to vote.
(d) No votes allocated to a unit owned by the association may be cast. (Added 1997, No. 104 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. Jan. 1, 1999.)
