FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

ABOUT OUR ELECTIONS

 

1. Question: Will my ballot count if I don’t fill out the form in the upper left corner of my Envelope #2?  Answer: No. The ballot must come from an owner of record and there is no way to determine that if you do not fill out the information requested in the upper left corner of Envelope #2 of the Secret Ballot materials.

 

2. Question: Will my ballot count if I don’t put it in Envelope #1, seal it, and then put Envelope #1 in Envelope #2, seal it and then complete the information requested in the upper left corner of Envelope #2, sign and deliver or mail it as addressed to the Inspector of Election.  Answer: No. The new Election Rules and the new elections law require each of these steps to be completed in order to maintain the secrecy of the voting process.

 

3. Question:  Will my vote count if I complete and sign it but Transpacific does not have my name listed as an owner of the Unit?  Answer:  No.  You must be listed on Transpacific’s records as an owner of the Unit on Record Date.  If the notices you receive from the management company are not listing all of the owners of your Unit then you should contact the management company with a copy of your Deed and have them update their records to show all of the owners as shown on the Deed. All co-owners, joint tenants, trustees if title is held by a trust, should be listed on the management company’s records. Only the owners shown on the management company’s records can vote in the election.

 

4. Question:  Will the vote by a spouse who is not listed on the Record Date list by Transpacific be valid if the other spouse is the only owner of record but did not sign the envelope #2?  Answer: No, unless the association has been furnished with a power of attorney for the non-listed spouse, signed by the listed spouse, giving the other spouse the power to sign on their behalf as attorney-in-fact.  Any such signature should have a notation that it is being signed as attorney-in-fact.
