New Law Enables HOA Electronic Voting in California: A Modern Approach to Community Governance

United States, 3rd Oct 2024 – In a significant step forward for Homeowners' Associations (HOAs) across California, recent amendments to state law now allow for electronic voting in conjunction with traditional paper ballots. This advancement brings a modern, streamlined, and more accessible approach to community governance, making it easier for homeowners to participate in decisions that shape their neighborhoods.

The amendment to the California Civil Code AB 2159, enacted August 23, 2024 for elections after January 1, 2025, permits Homeowners' Associations to offer electronic voting as a legitimate and secure option, in combination with paper ballots. This dual system enhances accessibility, especially for those who may find it difficult to attend in-person meetings or submit paper ballots. This ultimately encourages opportunities for broader engagement in community decision-making. ElectionBuddy, a high integrity cloud based voting platform, supports this new amendment by delivering voting capabilities using in-person ballots, mailed ballots, and electronic ballots. 

“This new law represents a major leap forward for California HOAs,” said Dave Bodnarchuk, President of ElectionBuddy. “The introduction of electronic voting combined with mailed paper ballots makes voting more accessible, cost-effective, and convenient for homeowners. By embracing digital tools while maintaining the option for traditional paper ballots, the AB 2159 allows all HOA and condominium residents to make their voices heard.”

With a growing reliance on digital tools in everyday life, the ability to vote electronically is a natural progression for HOAs. It reduces the logistical burden of organizing physical meetings or mailing ballots, while still maintaining the integrity of the voting process through secure, state-compliant electronic voting platforms. In delivering on the requirements of the amendment, ElectionBuddy also helps streamline decision-making processes, as HOAs and their Inspector of Elections can now facilitate faster vote counts and reporting, while giving residents more time and flexibility to cast their votes from any location. The ElectionBuddy platform also facilitates transparency for HOAs in California by delivering voting results remotely, along with ensuring the remote availability of voting audits.

All in all, a win for accessible HOA democracy in California.
