The results of the balloting were reported at the conclusion of the meeting. The scans of the ballots and outside envelopes are available for inspection for one year by contacting the Inspector of Elections.
The Association has 128 units. All units were eligible to vote at the time of the election. Therefore, the number of units required by the Montage CC&Rs to establish a Quorum is 32 or 25% of the total units.
Eighty-eight (88) ballots were received. Two ballots were received after the close of the polls at approximately 9:45a on March 18 and disqualified without opening. Four ballots were received without signatures on the outside envelope and were disqualified without opening. Eighty-two ballots were received and approved; therefore, a quorum was established to conduct the meeting and complete the election. Upon opening and inspection, one ballot was disqualified for not being submitted in the proper ballot envelope, and one ballot was disqualified for incorrectly being completed. A total of 80 ballots were counted. This is down ten ballots from 2022. Three positions on the Board of Directors were being filled. The results of the voting were as follows:
