Definition

How electronic consent works

This document informs members about their current voting method. If they are voting electronically and the association has their email, it includes the email address that will be used for electronic voting. It also explains that members must opt out of electronic voting if they wish to vote by written ballot. Additionally, the document provides instructions on how to opt out and states that the deadline for making this change is no later than 90 days before the scheduled vote. However, Condo Elects sets this deadline at least 96 days before the vote to ensure compliance and proper processing.
