Electronic Voting in Community Associations Are the Days of Paper Ballots and In-Person Meetings a Thing of the Past?

Before the 2020 pandemic, annual membership meetings were a time for owners to get together and discuss community issues while anxiously awaiting for election ballots to be counted. However, COVID-19 changed the manner in which association meetings were held. With restrictions on large group gatherings and strict quarantine requirements, many associations limited in-person attendance, requiring some members to participate “remotely” via Zoom and other similar platforms. Now that things have returned to normal (for the most part), are the days of in-person only meetings and paper ballots/proxies also going to return?
