Board Seat Election Information

The Villages of Northgate Crossing has five seats that comprise the board.  Board seats are by homeowner election except when an elected board member resigns in the middle of a term and that board member replacement is by election of the remaining board members.  When a board seat is open for election, by-laws require that all members of the community (or owners of the property) be mailed a notice of the election 15 or more days prior to the election taking place.

Q: Who may vote in an election to appoint board members?
A: Any home owner may cast one vote per household.  Deed restriction violations or outstanding assn dues/fees do not exclude a homeowner from voting (under new Texas laws.)

Q: How can I get my name on the ballot to seek election to the board?
A: All elections take place during the annual meeting which is typically held in March or April of each year.  You can contact the association and they can provide you with a form on which you can record your information that will be distributed to all homeowners.  Optionally, you can run as a write-in candidate.

Q:  Can I collect votes for myself from homeowners directly?
A:  Yes, you can have the homeowner that has not already submitted a vote, cast the vote for you by door-to-door campaigning.  You can campaign in all four villages as board members are not elected on a per-village basis.  The majority of board members are elected through door-to-door campaigning efforts.

Q: What are the requirements to run for election on the board?
A: Anyone can run for a membership on the board - you do not have to be a member of the assn or own property.
