## What do you think? Question:

Regarding annual elections. We have 5 board members that have exceeded their terms. They have been on the board over 4 years. I am the President of the association and requested that this year elections to be held this October are to re-run if they choose too, otherwise they will be succeeded by those who the homeowners elected. Our by-laws state, in any event at least one third of the terms of the board members of Managers shall expire annually. In our case 5 board member exceeded their 3 year terms. The 5 board members are contesting it, and said I can not do this. Please give your opinion on this matter, we are in New York.
