If you are wondering how you can find an HOA election inspector, you have come to the right place. The guidelines that dictate who can be a professional inspector of election allow for:

• A volunteer poll worker with the county registrar of voters;
• A licensee of the California Board of Accountancy;
• A notary public; or
• A member of the association, provided that the member is not a director, a candidate for director, or related to a director or to a candidate for director.

As long as your HOA election inspector in CA meet these qualifications, they can oversee your next community election process.

According to CA Civil Code Section 5110, Inspectors of Elections shall:

1. Determine the number of memberships entitled to vote and the voting power of each.
2. Determine the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies, if any.
3. Receive ballots
4. Hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising out of or in connection with the right to vote.
