HOA and condo electronic voting laws by state
Whether your association can vote online depends on your state. Find your state for the statute, how electronic voting gets authorized, and the secret ballot, paper ballot and retention rules.
Reviewed September 16, 2026. Summaries of state law, not legal advice. Each association, and any management company acting for it, is responsible for confirming with its own attorney that a vote complies with state and local law and its governing documents. See our Terms of Service.

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. VoteStead counsel has reviewed the rule pack for every state. Where state law does not clearly authorize electronic voting, the association attorney confirms authority before a binding vote. 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.
