Probably only if the house is not titled in your husband's name. When I was on our HOA board (this happened before I was on the board, but it was my board that had to deal with the law suit), we were sued because we had been sending the mailings to the husband in the house regarding an empty lot the family owned, however,the lot was in his wife's name, so technically, she never received notification.
I feel the same way when receiving mail from my university alumni association. It is always addressed to Mr. and Mrs. John Doe. I was the one who went to Graduate school there, so I was there longer, but they can't even bother to put my name on the mailing. Also, when they call they ask for Mrs. Doe. My name is Smith-Doe, so I tell them since I have asked on multiple occasions for them to change it to my proper name, and they don't bother to do so, then I can't be bothered to send them any money.

You're reading Our Homeowners association sends all mailings and voter ballots in the first name on the account, mainly the male or husband. I think it's sexist and disciminatory but do we have legal grounds to make them change this practice?

Both names are on the deed and registered with the HOA. They don't even have the consideration to put "Mr. and Mrs. John Doe"....They just plainly put "John Doe". That means that when I go to vote on issues with the HOA, I am voting by proxy or under my husbands name. I have requested they change this, both through the property management company and the HOA board even just to my name instead of my husbands but they say it is a data base problem.

If you have requested that it be changed, you may be able to take legal action, however, you have to decide if it is worth it to you to spend the money on that issue. Data bases can be changed, so that's a lame excuse.
