I'm on the board of a small condo, which has an even number of units. Unlike co-ops, our votes are not "weighted' by the number of shares for each apartment since, obviously, condo apartments do not have assigned shares. If just two candidates are running for a board seat, it's possible that there will be a tie (assuming that each unit only has one vote, regardless of the number of residents in the unit). In the event of a tie, how can this be resolved? PS, the original board documents are of no help since they are very poorly written.
Join the Conversation Comments (1)While condos do not have shares as in a co-op, there is the % of common elements assigned to each condo. Generally, the vote should be tally by using that aspect, which in essence is like the shares in a co-op. A review of the bylaws should review how the voting should be handled. There should be a rare occurrence of an exact match or tie.
