The Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act governs the formation and operation of common interest developments and generally provides for the election and removal of directors of the board by secret ballot. Existing law provides for director nominees to be considered elected by acclamation if the number of director nominees is not more than the number of vacancies to be elected, the association includes 6,000 or more units, the association provides individual notice of the election at least 30 days before the close of the nominations, and the association permits all candidates to run if nominated, except as specified.

This bill would amend Civil Code 5100 to delete the requirement that the association includes 6,000 or more units.

**UPDATE:  AB 502 was signed by the Governor on October 5, 2021.  Its changes to the law take effect January 1, 2022.
