Yes, though the rules differ depending on whether you’re an HOA or a condo:
• Homeowners Association Statute: Texas Property Code §209.00592
• Condominium Statute: Texas Property Code §82.110
Section 209.00592 covers subdivision homeowners’ associations and requires them to offer at least one alternative to in-person voting – absentee ballot, proxy, or electronic ballot – without a board resolution or owner opt-in first. Condominiums vote electronically under a separate provision, §82.110 of the Texas Uniform Condominium Act, added in a 2025 amendment, which ties electronic voting to the state’s general Business Organizations Code instead.
What Texas Law Requires
For HOAs, owners have to be able to vote in person, by proxy, by absentee ballot, or by electronic ballot, and unless the governing documents say otherwise, the association only has to offer one of the last three alongside in-person voting. Texas defines “electronic ballot” broadly here: email, fax, or posting on a website all qualify, as long as the association can confirm the owner’s identity and the owner can get a receipt. For condos, §82.110(d) of the Condominium Act instead points to Business Organizations Code §6.002, which authorizes voting through a remote-communications system – phone, video, or internet – as long as the association can verify each remote participant’s identity and keeps a record of the vote. It’s a live, meeting-based model rather than the asynchronous ballot-by-email model HOAs use, so the two shouldn’t be assumed interchangeable.
Does Vote HOA Now’s Platform Conform?
Yes, for both models. The platform confirms owner identity and provides a delivery receipt for every HOA electronic ballot under §209.00592, and separately supports the identity-verified remote participation and vote record that condo associations need under §82.110 and Business Organizations Code §6.002.
