Run polls, formal ballots and board elections in the app. Votes are counted on the server against the ballot’s rules, and every result stays on record.
What it does
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Polls | For the whole community or one building, with a quorum and a deadline. Yes, No and Abstain are added automatically. |
| Live quorum | The card shows raw numbers, for example “1 of 16 units voted · quorum needs 8”. Closing shows the result or “Quorum Not Reached”. |
| Vote weighting | One vote per person, per unit or by ownership share. |
| Formal ballots | Each ballot is stamped with a jurisdiction profile that sets the minimum notice, quorum and weighting, enforced on the server. BAB includes a profile for Washington’s WUCIOA; quorum can be set to match your governing documents. |
| Board elections | Self-nomination with a statement, a certified voter roll, results and receipts by notification and email, and a tabulation report PDF. Ties are reported, never broken silently. |
| Co-owners | For a unit with several owners, the admin records each share and who votes for the unit. |
| Paper ballots | Ballots received by mail, drop-off or proxy delivery are recorded alongside online votes. |
How it works
1. Create the vote
Choose a poll or formal ballot, the scope, quorum and deadline.
2. Owners vote
In the app; paper ballots are entered by the admin.
3. BAB counts
On the server, against the ballot’s rules.
4. Close and publish
The result shows whether quorum was met.
5. Form the board
For an election, the board is formed from the results.
What BAB doesn’t do
- No proxy appointment in the app. Paper ballots delivered by a proxy can be recorded, but owners can’t appoint a proxy in BAB.
- No changing a poll vote. Once cast, an in-app poll vote is final.
- Not legal advice. Check your governing documents and state law before a binding vote.
Who uses it
- Owners: vote in polls and ballots.
- Board members and committees: create votes and publish results.
- Community admin: co-owner shares, paper ballots and elections.
Pricing
Included in BAB’s price: $3 per door per month, capped at $149 a month for communities of up to 300 doors, after a free 90-day pilot. Residents pay nothing when the association subscribes. See everything BAB includes.
FAQ
Can an owner change a vote?
Not on in-app polls. Washington formal ballots can be revoked, as that profile allows.
How is quorum shown?
In units, for example “1 of 16 units voted · quorum needs 8”.
Who votes for a unit with two owners?
The co-owner named in the written notice the admin records.
Can tenants vote?
Only where the ballot allows it; the Washington profile has a per-ballot switch for lessee voting.
