HOA Quorum Calculator

Quorum is the minimum number of eligible voters who must participate — in person, by proxy, or electronically — for a meeting or election to be valid. The exact percentage is set by your association's governing documents and applicable state or provincial law.

Multiply your total eligible voters (units) by the required quorum percentage and round up. For example, 150 units at a 33% quorum requires 50 participants. Enter your numbers in the calculator above to see your exact threshold and how close current attendance is.

In most associations, validly submitted proxies count toward quorum because they represent an owner's participation. The calculator adds members present and valid proxies together as your counted attendance. Always confirm proxy rules in your governing documents.

If quorum is not reached, the vote generally cannot be certified and the meeting must be rescheduled or adjourned, often with revised notice. Some governing documents allow a reduced quorum for an adjourned meeting — check your bylaws.

Yes. In most U.S. states and Canadian provinces, ballots cast electronically count toward quorum when proper notice and consent procedures are followed. Online platforms make quorum easier to reach by lowering the barrier to participation.
