FOREWARD

The Election Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors, has developed and formalized election procedures. These guidelines have been adopted by the Montclair Property Owners Association (MPOA) Board of Directors for use at Annual and Special Meetings. The guidelines will be reviewed each year and revised as needed. Suggestions for improvement should be directed to the Election Committee in care of the Montclair Property Owners Association. These guidelines were developed to ensure that every valid vote is accurately counted.

ELIGIBILITY

The Articles of Incorporation state that members shall have one vote for each lot owned. When more than one person owns a lot, all owners may participate and vote by unanimous consent. However, only one vote per owned lot may be cast on any one issue properly coming before the meeting.

For a member to be eligible to vote, he or she must not be delinquent as to any financial obligation to the MPOA as of the Record Date (close of books). Only an Owner of Record will be eligible to vote. It is the responsibility of new property owners to notify MPOA of ownership changes. Any member may assign their voting rights to a lessee of the lot owned, providing that the initial period of the lease is not less than one year, by providing a written certificate signed and dated by the Member and witnessed by a person, other than the member and the assignee, who signs their name and address. Such certificate shall be filed with the company contracted to collect election ballots by 5:00 p.m. ET the day prior to the meeting.

Any person filing a signed Power of Attorney with the Secretary of MPOA must also exhibit a valid picture identification card as identification and will be allowed to vote if the person to be represented is a property owner in good standing. The MPOA will notify the company contracted to collect the election ballots to issue the correct ballots.

VOTING OPTIONS

Votes may be cast by four methods:

1. By Mail Official Paper Referendum ballot mailed to Owners of Record is used for the

election of the Board of Directors and all issues for which prior official notification has been given and any possible Advisory question(s) to the Board. All ballots received shall be recorded.

3. In the event that both regular terms and vacancies are to be filled by an election, candidates receiving the greatest number of votes, if a plurality of the votes cast is attained, are elected for the longest term of office available; the candidate receiving the second highest number of votes, if a plurality of the votes cast is attained, fills the second longest term of office, and so on until all of the vacant positions on the Board of Directors are filled.

4. In the event of a tie plurality vote for a position on the Board of Directors, a new referendum ballot will be issued and a vote will be taken at a future date to fill the remaining seat.
