How break a tie in Condo board elections?Aug 27, 2023

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.

Condo tie - Pooh Aug 30, 2023

Why don’t you ask your condo attorney? I’m sure they have seen this before and could help and give a fair solution.

How break a tie in Condo board elections? - Will Aug 31, 2023

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.
