Did you know that on January 1, 2025, a new law went into effect that, for the first time ever, allows HOAs to adopt electronic voting procedures—without the red tape that used to make it nearly impossible?
In this episode of HOA Hell, attorney and a leading authority on HOA law, Michael Kushner, along with his producer, Justin Rodriguez, take a deep dive into California’s new HOA Electronic Voting Law (otherwise known as AB 2159).
This podcast will cover several key topics, including:
• The problems associated with paper ballots and the old way of doing things
• How the new law has changed things for the better
• The requirements put into place to ensure transparency, maintain secrecy, allow verification
• What is being given up in favor of implementing electronic voting
• What concerned homeowners should look out for to ensure that elections are being done correctly
• How homeowners can get their HOAs to implement electronic voting in their associations
In addition, HOA Hell also introduces what will be a frequent segment on his podcast—HOA Hell Queries, where Michael Kushner provides simple answers to complex questions from the firm’s clients and podcast listeners.
In today’s HOA Hell Queries segment, Michael Kushner answers questions relating to:
• A homeowner’s right to install video cameras
