Board Election
SLE HOA Board Members volunteer—for free—for three-year terms. Three seats come available in May 2025. Each lot has one ballot and may select three candidates to fill the three seats. Here are your voting choices:
Vote online - Use the below Google Form to vote from now until NOON on May 13, 2025. Please vote online by 12pm on May 13, 2025, so ballots may be printed + delivered by proxy to the voting table for counting.
Vote in-person - The semi-annual meeting will be held at Cup of Grace in Spirit Lake, Tues, May 13, 2025, 7:00-8:30pm. Voting tables will be clearly marked as will donation table to support our Road Fund.
Proxy Ballot - If you prefer to vote (or assign a proxy) from home, we’ve included in your hardcopy meeting invite a proxy ballot. You can also print one out here (click here).
The Election Committee requests that all proxies be delivered to the voting table at the time you wish to vote for the person whose proxy you hold. If you’re voting online for an owner and want that vote to count, email the signed proxy to elections@spiritlakeeast.org by 12pm on May 13, 2025, so the signed and emailed proxies may be printed + attached to the corresponding online vote submitted, then delivered to the voting table.
Also, we have combined the old proxy mailing with the meeting mailing because it saves our community 100’s of dollars in paper, ink + postage, which are far more expensive now than they used to be. Most homeowners don’t use the hardcopy proxies anymore, and instead, opt for submitting an online vote that’s printed + delivered to the meeting for counting by the Election Committee. It is the modern proxy, meets the requirements, and is more secure being only accessible through password-protected personal email that can then be cross-referenced with our directory for further confirmation.
Elections are not for a specific position with the SLE Board. Instead, those with the most votes will be elected to fill the three seats in general. The Board then determines what position will be most suitable for each person elected depending on skills, availability and access to the necessary equipment (if any).
If you submit more than one vote for the same lot (for example, if both spouses vote online w/o realizing), the earliest timestamp will stand. So, be sure to coordinate with your lot co-owner who will submit the vote.
