If an association does not use a mailing label, they need to provide the following so that owners can fill in the information by hand. The "ATTENTION: Above must be completed and signed or your vote will not be counted." is optional and is not required by statute.
...the voter shall sign the voter’s name, indicate the voter’s name, and indicate the address or separate interest identifier that entitles the voter to vote. (Civ. Code §5115(c)(1).)
Member's name:________________________
Address of unit entitling you to membership: _____________________________________
Signed:_______________________________
ATTENTION: Above must be completed and signed or your vote will not be counted.
