election requirements specified in the bylaws or operating
agreement. If the court finds that an election was not held to

provided to the member shall state that a member who submits a
vote using electronic or acceptable technological means may
request and cast a ballot in person at the election meeting,
and thereby void any vote previously submitted by that member.
    (j) Upon proof of purchase, the purchaser of a unit from a
seller other than the developer pursuant to an installment
contract for purchase shall, during such times as he or she
resides in the unit, be counted toward a quorum for purposes of

    any governmental authority, all other documents filed with
    any other governmental authority, all governmental
    certificates, correspondence involving enforcement of any

        (6) If the developer fails to fully comply with this
    subsection (d) within the 60 days provided and fails to
    fully comply within 10 days after written demand mailed by
    registered or certified mail to his or her last known
    address, the board may bring an action to compel compliance
    with this subsection (d). If the court finds that any of
    the required deliveries were not made within the required

    (e) With respect to any common interest community
association whose declaration is recorded on or after the
effective date of this Act, any contract, lease, or other
agreement made prior to the election of a majority of the board
other than the developer by or on behalf of members or
underlying common interest community association, the
association or the board, which extends for a period of more
than 2 years from the recording of the declaration, shall be
subject to cancellation by more than one-half of the votes of
the members, other than the developer, cast at a special
meeting of members called for that purpose during a period of
90 days prior to the expiration of the 2-year period if the
board is elected by the members, otherwise by more than
one-half of the underlying common interest community
association board. At least 60 days prior to the expiration of
the 2-year period, the board or, if the board is still under
developer control, the developer shall send notice to every
member notifying them of this provision, of what contracts,
leases, and other agreements are affected, and of the procedure
for calling a meeting of the members or for action by the board
for the purpose of acting to terminate such contracts, leases
or other agreements. During the 90-day period the other party
to the contract, lease, or other agreement shall also have the
right of cancellation.
    (f) The statute of limitations for any actions in law or
equity that the board may bring shall not begin to run until
the members have elected a majority of the members of the
board.
