Before writing

The ballot-control section is where the product claim and the law meet: §5120(c) bars the board and the management company from controlling electronic ballots, and BallotLink enforces that in software. State the law first and the product second, never the other way round.

BallotLink provides general information about California HOA election law, not legal advice. Statutes change. Consult your association’s counsel or a qualified California community association attorney before relying on anything here.
