How Quorum Works

Quorum represents the percentage of ownership participation required for an association meeting to be valid. In some associations, each unit carries a different vote weight, rather than each unit counting as a simple “1 vote.”

How Vote Weight Affects Quorum 

For associations with weighted voting: 

  • Each unit contributes to quorum based on its assigned vote weight. 
  • When a unit submits an electronic vote or when a paper proxy is recorded, the quorum increases by that unit’s vote weight (e.g., 1.2, 0.75, 2.5, etc.) instead of the standard value of 1. 

Example of Quorum Calculation 

  • If a unit with a vote weight of 1.2 participates in an association with 100 voting members, the quorum increases from 0% to 1.2%. 
  • As more units participate, the system adds up their respective vote weights. 

How It’s Displayed 

  • The platform shows a combined quorum percentage, which includes both electronic votes and paper proxies. 
  • We do not separate electronic participation from paper participation; both are reflected in one total quorum calculation. 

Quorum 1 ✅ 

  • Represents total participation. 
  • It includes all electronic votes submitted plus any paper proxies recorded in the system. 
  • This is the combined quorum percentage that determines whether the association has reached the required quorum for the meeting. 

Quorum 2 📝 

  • Represents paper participation only. 
  • It reflects the percentage of ownership represented specifically through paper proxies recorded by the manager or admin. 
  • Useful for tracking how much of the quorum is made up of paper submissions vs electronic voting. 

 

Key Takeaway 

  • Quorum 1 = Electronic Votes + Paper Proxies (total participation). 
  • Quorum 2 = Paper Proxies only. 

When added together, they don’t exceed 100%, instead, Quorum 1 already includes Quorum 2, since it’s the combined participation total. 

 

💡 Reminder: The quorum percentage displayed is always based on the ownership share that has participated, whether by electronic vote or recorded proxy.
