Regional HOA & condo templates

Beyond Florida Condo's full compliance workflow, ElectoSense includes governance templates for other common jurisdictions. Each sets quorum, proxy, notice, and inspector defaults you can refine on the Governance tab.

California HOA

Based on Davis-Stirling Act conventions for member elections:

  • 25% quorum of eligible voters
  • Secret ballot required for director elections
  • Inspector of elections required — assign and invite via the Governance tab
  • Proxies not allowed for board elections under this template
  • 30-day minimum notice
  • 14-day certification deadline after close

Florida HOA (non-condo)

For Chapter 720 homeowner associations:

Nonprofit / Bylaws-driven

Generic organizational defaults when statute-specific rules do not apply:

  • 50% quorum
  • General proxies allowed; directed proxies off
  • 14-day email notice

Tune every value to match your bylaws.

Choosing the right template

  1. Confirm your entity type (condo vs. HOA vs. nonprofit)
  2. Select the matching template on the Governance tab
  3. Compare defaults against your governing documents
  4. Adjust quorum %, proxy settings, and notice days as needed
  5. Engage your attorney for edge cases (dual-class voting, weighted interests, etc.)
Statutes change. Templates reflect common practice at the time of publication — always verify current law and your governing documents before relying on defaults.
