Illinois associations may let owners vote by mail or electronically once a board rule allows it (condos: adopted at least 120 days before an election); voting in person cancels an earlier ballot.

Qwibie asks for the steps below before the vote counts.

• Board rule adopted first
• Instructions 10 to 30 days before
• In person vote cancels earlier
• No proxies for board elections
