An e-voting gaffe, a three-way tie and condo election chaos

An error attributed to an electronic voting platform for condominium corporations has unleashed chaos at a Toronto-area townhouse complex and is raising questions about the rules governing condominium election disputes.

“Right now we feel like a coup’s been staged,” said Susan Flynn, who ran for a seat on the board of Peel Condominium Corporation No. 76 (PCC 76), and was announced as one of the winners at the condo’s May 29, 2023, annual general meeting. Since then she has been excluded from board business and discussion with little explanation as to why or whether it was legal for the condo corporation to do so.
