Condominium associations must hand-deliver, mail, or transfer electronically a first notice of an election at least 60 days in advance.
The condo association must let the condo owners know who the candidates up for election are going to be and when the election will be held.
Whoever wants to be a candidate for the condo association election have until 40 days before the election to submit a written application and 35 days to turn in a one-page resume which the association sends out along with its second notice of the upcoming election.
In order to have a valid election, there must be at least 20% of the eligible voters actually voting.
Convicted felons without restored voting rights cannot serve on a condominium board.
Six owners or 15% of the unit owners (whichever is greater) may petition the Florida Ombudsman’s Office for an election monitor to conduct the election. The association will pay for this appointed monitor.
If there aren’t enough candidates to fill the required positions, those on the ballot are automatically elected.

How long must owners be in arrears before they are disenfranchised?
What is the actual number when a condominium complex has only 52 units (normally 1 vote per unit) and one owner owns 9 units and expect to buy at least one more before the election; how many votes does that person get? That person is not the developer only a unit owner who rents the units. I never get a straight out answer from the DBPR. I know when a unit owner owns more than a specific number of units they are some what a developer and they can control the voting by doing that. Do you know the answer, thank you.
If a condo elected member runs for two consecutive years and there are other people on the ballot who haven’t run before, is it true that the elected member who has run for two years cannot run again (if there are a sufficient number of new candidates).
