General Information about the Election and Voter Eligibility

A member in good standing is one whose membership account is up to date by the “record date” set every year by the Board of Directors at the October Regular Board Meeting. The exceptions to this rule are:
  • Members that have finalized arrangements for a monthly dues payment plan
  • Members who have applied for 2025 dues relief through the Member Assistance Program (MAP).
  • Members may vote between February 19 and March 13, either online or via mail-in paper ballot.
Each eligible household may submit ONE vote.
In mid-February, all eligible households will receive via USPS, a notice of the Annual Meeting of the Corporation. That notice will include a VOTER CODE. Please retain this important piece of information. If you need a paper ballot, follow the instructions to request one.
On February 19, all eligible households with an email address on file with their membership records will receive a voter code and a voting link via email. This should be the same voter code issued in traditional mail via USPS.
Do you own multiple properties? Members who own more than one property will receive a single voter code. Your vote will be counted for each GVR property you own. If you own two properties, your vote will be counted twice. If you own six properties, it will be counted six times. If you own multiple properties and wish to receive a separate voter code for each, please contact NanciM@gvrec.org.
