Your Right to Equal Access in HOA Elections
If your HOA lets sitting board members use the newsletter, email list, website, or clubhouse during an election, it cannot pick favorites. The Davis-Stirling Act requires equal access once HOA resources enter the campaign arena. When incumbents get the microphone, challengers get it too. If the board tips the scale, homeowners can challenge the election.
🎯 What You’ll Learn in This 1-Minute Tip:
✅ What “equal access” means in terms of HOA election laws under Civil Code § 5105.
✅ Which HOA communication channels trigger equal access obligations.
✅ How unequal access puts an HOA election at risk.
This Tip explains how equal access works in HOA elections. Once an HOA allows any candidate to use clubhouse, newsletters, email blasts, websites, portals, bulletin boards, or management communications, the board must provide the same access on the same terms to every candidate. When boards pick favorites, they’re breaking the law.
