URGING THE REAL ESTATE COMMISSION TO CONDUCT A STUDY TO EXAMINE THE USAGE OF ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES AND BEST PRACTICES TO ENSURE A REASONABLE LEVEL OF SECRECY AND INTEGRITY IN CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION MEETINGS.
WHEREAS, many condominium associations are governed by declarations and bylaws that require secret ballots for votes taken at association meetings; and
WHEREAS, secret ballots can be unduly burdensome for condominiums that need to ballot with different common interests; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-ninth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2018, the Senate concurring, that the Real Estate Commission is urged to conduct a study to examine the usage of electronic voting devices and best practices to ensure a reasonable level of secrecy and integrity in condominium association voting, including, but not limited to:
(1) Any national standards for electronic voting in condominium association meetings or other similar contexts;
(2) Any laws in other states governing electronic voting in contexts other than public elections; and
(3) Any existing practices by condominium associations that ensure secrecy and integrity in voting; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Real Estate Commission is requested to submit a report of its findings and recommendations, if any, to the Legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2019; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Director of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and the Chairperson of the Real Estate Commission.
