Well....
We had our elections a few weeks back and the developer proxied 50 votes for the 2 individuals who got voted in. This essentially guaranteed their win as only 50 people showed up to vote in person for the president/vice-president. While this is technically all legal it seems this is a bit of a loophole for developers to get people elected who would see things get done the way the developer wants them done.
I don't really feel this is our developer is doing this but I really do feel that there is easily room for abuse by a developer who still holds many units on election of board member. This equates to someone owning 50 homes and getting 50 votes in a municipal election.
The system needs to be changed slightly to only allow 1 vote per owner ... not per unit.
And I know some of you know which building I live in and who the developer is but please keep it out of the thread.
