How to Count Votes

Each Unit has the number of votes allocated to it in the Declaration of Condominium

  • If all units are allocated one vote apiece, and three people own a particular unit, that unit still has only one vote.
  • If one person owns more than one unit, he or she can cast the number of votes that all units, added together, are allocated.

Be careful whether a particular matter requires a majority, two thirds, three quarters or unanimous vote of all votes, or simply of those present, in person or by proxy. The votes required depends on the subject matter of the vote and can be complex.

  • Some matters require a majority (or unanimous consent) of all votes in the condominium. If a matter requires a majority of all votes, those voters who skip a meeting without giving a proxy are, in effect, casting "no" votes on the matter at hand.

Proxy voting is allowed in voting by unit owners, but not in voting by the Directors at a directors meeting. This is because duties of Directors apply personally to the Directors and cannot be delegated.
