For condominium associations, Section 718.112 (2)(b)(1.), Florida Statutes provides that -
Answer "unless a lower number is provided in the bylaws, the percentage of voting interests
required to constitute a quorum at a meeting of the members shall be a majority of the voting
interests." However, for the election of directors, the Condominium Act only requires at least 20
percent of the eligible voters to cast ballots in order to have a valid election of the members of
the board. Because ballots are sent out for election of directors with return envelopes, a
minimum 20 percent return of ballots is usually always obtained. The election can proceed even
though you may not have a majority of the members at the annual meeting for a quorum.
For homeowners associations, Section 720.306(1) (a), Florida Statutes provides that - Answer
"unless a lower number is provided in the bylaws, the percentage of voting interests required to
constitute a quorum at a meeting of the members shall be 30 percent of the total voting
interests." In homeowners associations, nominations for director elections are always allowed
from the floor. Therefore, you could have the real chance that less than 30 percent of the
members turn out for the annual meeting and an election therefore will not occur. What
happens to the director seats expiring will depend upon what the bylaws of the individual
association provide. In most, the bylaws say the directors terms end at the annual meeting. In
these cases, the remaining sitting directors will appoint replacements to those whose terms
expired. In other associations, the bylaws may say the director's terms end when they are
replaced. In those cases, the directors will remain for another year.
