VOTING CERTIFICATE: A voting certificate is being provided to determine who the voting member will be for your unit, if your unit is owned by more than one person (except if married couples) or a corporation. FORGERY OF A VOTING CERTIFICATE USED IN AN ELECTION IS A CRIME PUNISHABLE AS A THIRD-DEGREE FELONY. Please note the following information about VOTING CERTIFICATES:
1. A voting certificate is for the purpose of establishing who is authorized to vote for a unit owned by more than one person (except if married couples) or a corporation. A voting certificate is not needed if the unit is owned by only one person or by a married couple.
2. A voting certificate is not a proxy and cannot be used as such. Only an owner or an appropriate corporate officer can be named on a voting certificate, not a third party.
3. A voting certificate must be signed by all of the owners of the unit or an appropriate corporate officer.
4. A voting certificate is enclosed with this notice for your use, if needed.
5. The person designated in the voting certificate will receive the Second Notice pertaining to the election of directors and be authorized to cast the ballot for the election. The person designated in the voting certificate is the person who will be authorized to cast the ballot electronically if that person has also consented to online voting.
