How do I challenge an unfair HOA election process? – Perez Mayoral

To challenge an unfair election process, the first step is to ensure you preserve the record. This means you should request an inspection of all election-related documents, including ballots, proxies, and any other materials the association has concerning the election. Once you have access to this documentation, you can verify if the association failed to comply with the procedural or substantive election requirements outlined by the statute. If there’s evidence of non-compliance, you have grounds to challenge the election process. Florida law provides that you may need to proceed with arbitration, which involves petitioning the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) through its Division of Condominiums, Homeowners’ Associations, and Cooperatives. This division allows you to seek arbitration to potentially invalidate the election. For any questions feel free to give me a call.
