What is the process for signaling a no-confidence vote in a condo association?

A no-confidence vote in a condo association is a way of expressing dissatisfaction with the association’s current board of directors or its policies. South Carolina law requires owners of a certain percentage of the units in the condominium to initiate the process of a no-confidence vote. The percentage of the units required to initiate the vote varies based on the number of units owned in the condominium; 5% for a condominium of 20 units or fewer, and 2.5% for a condominium of more than 20 units. All owners will then need to be given an opportunity to vote on the no-confidence motion. In order to issue a no-confidence vote, the owners will need to have a special meeting where a majority vote is taken on the issue. The motion must be published in a local newspaper for a period of at least one week prior to the meeting. The motion must also contain a date, time, and place for the meeting, as well as an explanation of the charges against the board or the policy in question. At the meeting, a majority vote of the owners present, in person or by proxy, is needed to pass the motion. If the motion is passed, the board president will be asked to resign and the directors will be required to elect new officers. A new election for the board of directors may also be held if the vote is successful.
