VOTING CERTIFICATE

A Voting Certificate is being provided to determine who the voting representative will be for your unit, if your unit is owned by more than one person or a corporation. 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 (other than husband and wife) or an entity. A Voting Certificate is not needed, if the unit is owned by only one person.
  2. A Voting Certificate is not a proxy and may not be used as such. Only an owner or the appropriate corporate officer of a corporate owner, appropriate partner of a unit owned by a partnership owner or appropriate trustee(s) of a unit owned by a Trust may 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 the appropriate corporate officer of a corporate owner, all general partners of a unit owned by a partnership owner or all trustees of a unit owned by a Trust.
  4. A Voting Certificate is enclosed with this Notice for your use, if needed.
  5. The person designated in the Voting Certificate shall be authorized to cast the ballot for the election.
