• How many votes does it take to elect the alternative slate? To be a valid election, there must be a quorum of 50% of the PVHA members submitting ballots. Since there are about 5420 homes in PVHA, the quorum is 2711.  If a quorum is reached, then candidates with the top five number of votes will be elected. If a quorum is not reached, it has been past practice at PVHA to elect themselves for another year. The last year a quorum was reached was 2009.

• Who is going to count the ballots? There is an independent inspector of the election. Your ballot and vote will not be known to the PVHA, so any concern over adverse impact to approval of any building project you are planning is not warranted.

• When will the results of the election be known?  Results will be announced at the PVHA Annual Meeting on January 14th at 8pm.
