Q: My condominium association recently held its annual meeting and the election was quite close. Only one vote separated the candidates for the last open director position. The candidate that lost the election by one vote requested to review all the election materials, including the ballots. He determined that three election ballots, all with votes cast for him, were not considered in the official count because these three ballots were sealed inside the “inner” envelope. There are several owners that own multiple units within the condominium, and it is suspected that one of these owners probably got confused and placed all of their filled-out ballots, for all of the units they own, inside a singular “inner” envelope. Should these ballots have been counted? Can this owner challenge the election results? M.P.
