AI Summary
This bill clarifies how cumulative voting works in elections for planned community associations and condominium associations, which are organizations that manage common areas and enforce rules for residents. Specifically, it ensures that when cumulative voting is used, all candidates, including those who are written in by voters, are eligible to receive votes. Cumulative voting allows a voter to cast all their votes for a single candidate or distribute them among multiple candidates, and this bill confirms that individual votes are used to determine who is elected, with the candidates receiving the most votes filling the available positions.
