homeowners' associations; cumulative voting; prohibition

HB 2353 prohibits cumulative voting and proxy voting in Arizona homeowners' associations after the developer's control period ends. Instead, associations must use in-person voting or absentee ballots (or other approved electronic methods like email/fax) with specific rules: ballots must include voter identification, allow a seven-day delivery window, and be valid only for one election. This law applies to standard HOAs but excludes timeshare associations. It directly affects how HOA members vote for board members by requiring individual voter participation instead of concentrated or proxy voting.
