Mendocino HOA Board of Directors has 5 seats and currently 3 board members. There were no candidates for the 2 vacant seats. Pursuant to Para. 8 of Mendocino HOA Election Rules adopted on July 15, 2020, the Board can dispense with the balloting if doing so will not affect the results of the election (Civil Code §5145(a)).
In addition, next year the new law will be in effect and any uncontested election won't require voting at all or any proxy to have a quorum/etc. Essentially the candidates will be seated at the next regular meeting scheduled for January 21, 2022, when the 2021 minutes will be approved as well.
