What a vote nobody can prove costs.
The board voided 1,900 of 2,900 owner signatures. Eight people have since been arrested.
The Real Deal, May 2026
Proxies fail. Direct voting does not.
Billed to each of 198 owners under an emergency declaration, so there was no member vote.
ABC7, September 2026
A member vote capping what can be assessed without one.
Six people charged. Elderly boards were walked into signing control of the finances away.
Operation Sundown, August 2026
A public proposal and a public vote, visible to every owner.
An insurance jump that put monthly dues up about $262 overnight, with no say in it.

Verified Governance® on the spending and the liability behind it.
In each one, a vote was blocked, bypassed, or signed away.
Verified Governance® in 40 seconds
The loss is the symptom. The governance is the cause, and that is the part that can be fixed.
The communities most exposed are not the ones with bad boards. They are the ones with good boards and bad systems.
A good board and a bad board hand you the same minutes and the same tally. Without proof there is nothing to tell them apart, and an honest board has no way to show it did the right thing.
Trust fails. Proof doesn't.
Proof, not trust.
The community sees who voted. No one sees how.

A board can ignore one owner. It cannot ignore the whole community.

owners at your community are asking for a verified election.
Now send this page to every owner you can reach. Each name makes the number harder to ignore, and no one is ever named.
Keep your platform. Add proof to your elections.
You stay administrator of record. You run the election the way you run it now, and you bill your election fee the way you do now. TrueHOA sits under the ballot: terms locked before voting, one click for owners, and a public audit page at close.
Every vote that matters.
- Board and director elections
- Community proposals
- Budget and assessment votes
- Structural repairs and how to fund them
- Amendments and rule changes
- Contractor and vendor selection
Unlimited votes for the year.
Anything the community has to decide gets its own sealed record.
Digital is not the same as defensible.
An audit report still needs proof beyond the vendor's control.
You explain the record.
The vendor holds the record. Its audit still asks for your trust, and you hold the liability.
You show the proof.
Terms locked before voting. Every ballot timestamped. The record sealed on a public blockchain. Not even TrueHOA can rewrite it.
Questions boards ask
- Is it really free?
- One year at no charge. No card, no trial that turns into a bill. Nothing renews on its own, and year two is a board decision at our published price.
- Is the ballot still secret?
- Yes. The record shows who voted and the totals, never who voted for what.
- Does our inspector change?
- No. Your inspector still runs the election and certifies it if you want them to. TrueHOA is the impartial third party that collects the ballots and seals the record. The election and its outcome are immutable.
- What if we leave?
- We will be sad to see you go, but your sealed records stay available, because a record you can take down is not proof.
Nobody should vote on faith.
One year. 100,000 doors. At no charge.
