Washington Voting Rules for Boards and Members

Nonprofit corporations

Washington nonprofit boards may act without a meeting if every director entitled to vote signs a consent (electronic counts), unless the articles or bylaws prohibit it. All consents must be signed within 60 days, and a director can revoke before the last one arrives.

Qwibie counts the vote as: Every director consents in writing.

• File consent with minutes

Homeowners associations · Condominium associations

Washington association board meetings are open to owners and no final vote may be taken in executive session. After the transition meeting the board may act by unanimous consent in a record only for ministerial matters, matters owners must ratify, or carrying out something already approved at a meeting, so other decisions happen in a meeting. Meetings may be held by phone or video if the notice says how to join and votes are taken by roll call.

Qwibie sends this decision to a short meeting.
