@Kirsten Shafer

As the owner of Transcend Community Management, the professional management company facilitating the communications and an Arizona Licensed Broker, do you have any input on how your firm has been/is handling these communications and the process? Is the process being facilitated the same as you do for your other clients?

Hopefully you will be transparent with the homeowners (your client) and we (the homeowners) will not have to wait for your other client(s) to be compelled to provide us their annual meeting communications.

Scott,

This is highly unusual. In a typical election, there is 1 ballot that encompasses everything. Even if there are several ways to cast your ballot, all of the ballots achieve the same result and have the same options. I don't think it is appropriate to cherry pick the votes and use old votes, have several different ballots, some to do electronically with an account number and voting code buried somewhere in an email, some on paper, but no place to do write ins, and a half hour only if you want to do an electronic write in. So far, this does not seem like a fair and unbiased election. No matter how you spin it, it is not a clearly transparent election.

Again, I ask, why are you doing it this way? It is not logical in any sense of the word. The management company should have a very clear understanding of how to run an election and I just don't see that it is being conducted in any sort of professional manner. How many lawyers and how many hours have we spent on this sham of an election? Unless someone is trying to rig an election, it should be conducted properly.

Seriously, you know that this isn't proper decorum.

Karla:

The notice that you received with the new ballot answers all of your questions. I have attached a copy of the notice in the event you discarded it. Please review the notice.

Specifically, the notice informs you that if you want your vote to count which was cast prior to the April 6 meeting, you don't have to do anything. If you wish to change your vote, you can either 1) mail in or email in a new ballot prior to the April 24 meeting, or 2) vote live during the April 24 meeting using the online voting system (in such event you will need the account number and voting code supplied with your new ballot). If you chose to vote using the live system, a write-in option will be available. Directions on how to send your vote and deadlines for casting a vote by mail or email are in the notice and are clearly explained.

Kind Regards,

Since we are now subject to voter suppression and an incredibly complicated and unexplainable voting method, I don't know how to vote. I received some emails to vote online and some ballots by mail. Are my previously online votes going to count? How will you decide which votes to use? Why not have just sent out normal ballots like every other HOA and do a normal election with write ins available on paper? This is incredibly confusing and convoluted. Shouldn't have to be so complicated. This is definitely how you make it so exhausting that people just throw their hands up in the air and do nothing. The big question is, WHY would you do that?
