WRITE IN CANDIDATES - ARE THEY ALLOWED?
Here is a question about write-ins:
"We just had an election for Board members at our Condo and the ballot had a blank for a write in candidate. Is that OK? (A write in candidate received enough votes to get on the Board.)"
The answer to the question is "yes". A Board may provide on the ballot for write-in candidates. The new elections law provides this as an option. It does not appear from the statutory language, however, that is required, but if your governing documents or election rules require it, I say provide a blank for write-ins.
