Bill Summary
Establishing that certain provisions of law requiring that certain elections in condominiums and homeowners associations be conducted by an independent party apply only when the number of candidates exceeds the number of contested seats.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing Maryland law concerning elections for condominiums and homeowners associations by establishing that the requirement for elections to be conducted by an independent party, meaning someone not running in the election and without a conflict of interest, only applies when the number of candidates for positions is greater than the number of available seats to be filled. This change, which takes effect on October 1, 2026, aims to streamline election processes by removing the need for an independent election administrator when there are no contested races, such as when the number of candidates exactly matches the number of open positions.
