The condominium act allows co-owners to participate and vote electronically at the general meeting if the bylaws expressly permit it and the technical conditions are met. If the bylaws are silent, traditional voting requiring personal presence remains the governing form.
In practice a hybrid general meeting is possible: some owners attend in person, others join and vote by video conference, and the system must ensure every vote is clearly identifiable and recorded.
There is a separate, often confused procedure: written voting, where the resolution is adopted by collecting signed documents rather than at a live meeting. This is separately regulated with its own conditions.
The biggest practical advantage of online voting is higher participation: many owners who could not attend due to work or absence can take part in decision making from home.
A precondition is aligning the bylaws, which itself requires a general meeting resolution: this is the first step for a condominium planning such modernisation.
It is worth testing the technical conditions at a trial meeting, as a technical failure at a real, quorum-defining meeting can lead to legal uncertainty.
Merbo's eHáz system supports hybrid and fully online participation under the conditions set in the bylaws, and records every vote in documented form for the minutes.
