How to Vote

Overview

RunHOA’s E-Voting feature offers a straightforward and secure way for homeowners to participate in HOA elections. This system ensures that votes are cast confidentially and the results reflect the collective decision of the community. Below is a detailed guide for homeowners on how to vote in the elections using RunHOA.

Process Steps

1. Accessing the Voting Section

• Homeowners should log in to their RunHOA account and navigate to the E-Voting section. Here, they will find the ‘Vote’ option which they need to select to begin the process.

2. Selecting the Election

• Once in the voting section, homeowners will choose the current election they wish to vote in from a dropdown menu, such as the ‘Annual Election 2023’.

3 .Reviewing the Ballot

• After selecting the election, the ballot will appear with a list of positions and the corresponding candidates. Homeowners should carefully review the ballot before making their selections.

4. Casting the Vote

• For each position, homeowners must select their preferred candidate. The system typically allows the selection of only one candidate per position unless otherwise specified.
• If a homeowner selects more candidates than allowed, an error message will appear indicating the mistake, such as “Vote is exceeding required count for President (Select 1 Candidate Only). You have selected 3 candidates instead of 1”.

5 . Submitting the Vote

• After making the correct selections, the homeowner will click on the ‘Vote’ button to submit their vote.

6 .Vote Confirmation

• Upon successful submission, a message will confirm that the vote has been recorded, such as “Vote is recorded for this Unit: Alfano6504”.
• If any errors occurred during the selection process, homeowners must correct these before the system will accept and record their vote.
• Once the vote is recorded, the homeowner cannot vote again for the selected election.

By following the steps outlined above, homeowners can ensure that their voices are heard and their votes are counted in the decision-making process of their HOA community.
