Re: Illinois Condo Association Election Question

Check your bylaws, they might tell you something.  Ours calls for a quorum
to be present in order for an election to occur (which almost never occurs
for us -- our homeowners just aren't interested in the association).  If a
quorum is not present, and there are open seats on the board, the current
board members appoint people to fill those seats based on the nomination
papers received.
