Yes – Florida has some of the most detailed electronic voting statutes in the country:
• Condominium Statute: §718.128
• Cooperative Statute: §719.129
• HOA Statute: §720.317
They’re similar but not identical, and all three require more than just “the board decided to go digital” – specific technical safeguards have to actually be in place.
What Florida Law Requires
Both statutes start the same way: the board must adopt a resolution authorizing online voting, and it takes effect only for owners who’ve consented to it, electronically or in writing. From there, the online voting system itself has to be able to authenticate each owner’s identity, confirm a ballot wasn’t altered in transit, send the owner a receipt, and – if the bylaws call for secret ballots in director elections – permanently separate the ballot from any information that could identify who cast it. Ballots have to stay accessible for recount and inspection. A vote cast electronically counts toward quorum. And as of a 2025 update to §718.128, any condo association that hasn’t adopted full online voting still has to designate an email address where owners can send ballots directly – so even associations not ready for a full system have a baseline electronic option to offer.
Does Vote HOA Now’s Platform Conform?
Yes. Identity authentication, tamper-evident ballot transmission, owner receipts, secret-ballot separation, and a retained audit trail for recount and inspection aren’t add-ons for us – they’re the baseline the platform is built around, because they’re what both §720.317 and §718.128 actually require. If your board hasn’t adopted the authorizing resolution yet, that’s a short board-meeting item, not a platform limitation.
Have We Run Elections in Florida?
Yes – Vote HOA Now serves HOA, condo, and POA boards across Florida, and our continuing education courses are accredited by Florida’s DBPR, the same agency that issues the CAM license most Florida managers already hold. That’s not incidental: it means the guidance behind your election comes from people who actually work inside Florida’s regulatory framework day to day, not a generalist reading the statute for the first time.
