The Davis-Stirling Act’s amended version, which takes effect in 2025, requires that HOAs wishing to hold elections electronically must have an independent inspector of elections. These third-party inspectors can often be found as part of electronic voting platforms that offer Davis-Stirling compliance services.
This ensures elections comply with the Davis-Stirling Act and any other election law. To understand how and why these third parties are necessary, we need to understand the scope of their role.
