California- How do I know if I am eligible to run as a candidate for the board of directors in my community?

The Ballot Box does not determine the eligibility of any candidate to run in an election. Each community has criteria in their governing documents (usually the Bylaws) which state what is required to be a candidate and/or Director. There may be additional criteria in the adopted Election Rules. Please contact the Association through their managing agent or designated Board Member if your community is not professionally managed.
