VoteStead runs elections in every state and DC. A ring marks states where VoteStead's state review is complete, so binding votes need no attorney letter. Tiles show the main rule. Some states split HOAs and condos, which each state page explains.

Questions about state law
Which states allow HOA and condo associations to vote electronically?
As of September 16, 2026, 23 jurisdictions expressly allow it by statute, 3 require the governing documents to allow it, 17 allow it only through the nonprofit corporation act, and 8 have no clear authority. This is a summary, not legal advice.
Where is VoteStead available?
In all 50 states and DC. Each state has a rule pack that turns off features its law does not allow. Outside Washington, binding votes need a sign-off letter from the association attorney until VoteStead finishes its review of that state. Test elections run anywhere without it.
What do the four categories mean?
Allowed by statute: a community association statute speaks to electronic voting. Through the nonprofit corporation act: the nonprofit corporation act allows electronic ballots for incorporated associations. Governing documents must allow it: your declaration, bylaws or articles must authorize electronic ballots. No clear authority: no statute clearly authorizes owner electronic voting.
