In Catalonia, homeowners' associations (communities of property owners) are governed by the Fifth Book of the Civil Code of Catalonia, rather than the Spanish national Horizontal Property Act.
- Notice of meeting. It may be delivered by email. The ordinary general meeting must be convened with at least eight days' prior notice (Article 553-21).
- Remote attendance. Owners can attend the meeting via videoconference or other telemetric media if provided for by the bylaws or approved by the general meeting (Article 553-22).
- Proxy voting. Proxy representation must be granted in writing and specifically for each meeting (Article 553-24).
- Double majority. Resolutions require both a majority of property owners and, simultaneously, a majority of participation quotas (Article 553-25).
- Absentee voting. For resolutions requiring unanimity or qualified majorities, absent owners who, once notified, do not formally object within one month are counted as having voted in favor (Article 553-26).
ElectIQ does not replace the meeting. It is the voting tool: the meeting is convened and conducted as usual—in person, by videoconference, or both at once.
- Upload the census. Upload the list of property owners along with each unit's participation quota.
- Set up the ballot items. Create one for each agenda item: budgets, renovation work, appointment of officers, or special assessments.
- Vote during the meeting. Owners vote from their mobile phones, whether attending in the room or remotely. Proxies are registered before voting begins.
- Instant results for the minutes. ElectIQ instantly computes the majority of owners and quotas, clearly displaying who voted in favor, against, or abstained.
No spreadsheets or manual counting errors.
See immediately whether a resolution passes.
By default, voting is nominal/open, as required for the official minutes. If the meeting agrees, specific items can be voted on by secret ballot.
Each vote is recorded in an immutable log, protecting against legal challenges.
No app installation required.
