  • Here is the link to Florida Statutes: http://www.flsenate.gov/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=Ch0720/ch0720.htm In particular, you should look at Section 720.306 (9): (9) ELECTIONS.--Elections of directors must be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in the governing documents of the association. All members of the association shall be eligible to serve on the board of directors, and a member may nominate himself or herself as a candidate for the board at a meeting where the election is to be held. Except as otherwise provided in the governing documents, boards of directors must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by eligible voters. Any election dispute between a member and an association must be submitted to mandatory binding arbitration with the division. Such proceedings shall be conducted in the manner provided by s. 718.1255 and the procedural rules adopted by the division. * * * * NOTE: It does not appear that Florida statutory law places any limits on the number of terms that a member may serve on the board. Accordingly, you should review your HOA's governing documents to determine if there are any restrictions that are applicable to board elections for your particular HOA.
