N.J.S.A. 45:22A-45.2
Enacted by the 2017 "Radburn" Law (P.L. 2017, c.106) as a supplement to the Planned Real Estate Development Full Disclosure Act, this section requires open and fair executive-board elections for common-interest community associations. Elections must follow the association's governing documents, and default to two-year intervals if those documents set no interval; no board term may exceed four years (members may run for successive terms). It guarantees members the right to self-nominate or nominate other members in good standing, with advance written notice of the election and nomination period; requires proxy and absentee ballots that list all nominated candidates in alphabetical order by last name; requires proxies to carry a prominent notice that their use is voluntary and revocable before a vote is cast, and that an association using proxies must also make absentee ballots available; allocates one vote per unit unless the governing documents provide otherwise (e.g., votes weighted by a unit's value or size); and prohibits election procedures that are established or administered so as to prevent participation by residents of low- or moderate-income housing units.
