## What do you think? Question:

Recently we held our annual condo board elections. There are 24 units with 24 votes. I held 4 proxies + my own vote. One of the owners owns 8 units with 8 votes. She nominated me and I nominated her. Both nominations were seconded. The current board and the [property management company](https://www.condoassociation.com/property-managers/tabid/96982/Default.aspx) said that neither of us were eligible to run. I am currently suing the [condo association](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) because they have not fixed my rotten, leaking roof and after two emails and two certified letters spanning a 9 month period, I hired a contractor (who had been hired to work on a roof previously by the current board). The 8-unit owner was accused of being in arrears for maintenance (a charge she denies). The [By-Laws](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/bid/8763/Sample-ByLaws-for-a-Condo-Association-or-HOA.aspx) do not stipulate any restrictions on who can/cannot vote other than being a unit owner or proxy holder from a unit owner. Are they right or should I file an Article 78 proceeding?  This condo association is based in New York.
