TYPE OF ELECTION. Select the election timeline you need from the dropdown list. Director Elections with Acclamation is available only if the association has held a regular election for directors in the last three years. The three-year time period is calculated from the date ballots were due in the last full election to the start of voting for the proposed election. (For recall elections, seek the advice of legal counsel.) NOTE: We built in extra time in the election timelines to make it easier to meet all the deadlines.
