I am new to a condo board in New York. I was appointed by the president, however we are now having an election. They have not had one in many years. The managing agent is telling us that each house gets 5 votes. He explains the owner can vote one vote per person running or give all five votes to one person and this doesn't sound right to me. We have 7 people running and there are only 5 positions, isn't it logical to give each house 5 votes to fill those 5 spots but shouldn't they only be allowed to give one individual one vote a piece?
