E VOTE REGISTRATION AMENDING COVENANTS The Waterlefe Master Property Owners Association has transitioned to using the Becker online voting system and will be utilizing this system for the 2022 Annual Association Meeting This system expands homeowners voting options from the traditional in person and proxy options to now include e voting The process to amend the Declaration of Covenants is meant to remove language originally put in place to protect the builder To make any significant positive changes in the community we must change the way in which non votes are counted The MPOA averages 350 voters per annual meeting well over the quorum of 30 or 186 homeowners but we must count any non votes as automatic NO votes Last election over 55 of the community voted yes for Amendment 18 but 43 of the community 269 homes did not vote and had to automatically be counted as NO votes This large number of homes abstaining from voting caused the amendment to fail Prior to conducting the official community vote all homeowners need to register with the Becker Ballot online system if they intend to use the e voting system Please follow the instructions below to properly register with Becker in anticipation of the upcoming association vote PLEASE NOTE Not all homeowners will receive the BeckerBALLOT registration email Only the voting certificate holder for each property will receive the Becker registration email This ensures that each household is only allowed one vote for their property Step 1 Before receiving any emails from BeckerBALLOT we recommend adding contact beckerballot app to your contact list address book to ensure that emails from the system go to your inbox rather than your SPAM folder Step 2 Homeowners will receive an email from BeckerBALLOT Contact with a link to create an account for the Becker Ballot online vote system Step 3 Click the link in the email to go to the Becker Ballot website Step 4 Enter your email address that is registered with the Waterlefe MPOA the email you received this communication to and create a unique password for the Becker Ballot online voting system Please Note You will need to use this email and password each time you log into the Becker Ballot online voting system so it is recommended that the password is something easily remembered THIS CHANGE BY THE NUMBERS Under the Current Covenant Amendment Voting Requirements 617 Residences 412 2 3 of Residences Must Vote Yes to Have Any Change Approved 2 3 of 617 2021 last year Voting Details under Existing Current Covenant Amendment 617 Residences 100 348 Total Votes Cast 56 4 336 Yes Votes 54 5 12 No Votes 1 9 269 Did Not Vote No Votes 43 5 617 336 YES Votes 281 NO Votes 269 Non Cast No Votes 12 Cast No Votes 2021 Scenario Under Proposed Covenant Amendment Change 348 Total Votes Cast 56 4 of Residences 30 required per bylaws 96 5 of Total Votes Cast 3 44 of Total Votes Cast 336 Yes Votes Cast Becker uses industry standard encryption SSL for the Waterlefe site and documents Your data is secure and they never share your information In addition Waterlefe has its own database so no information is in a shared database on their application each association s vote is completely separated from each other Each member is assigned a unique account and you must create your own password All passwords are encrypted within the application and Becker does not keep records of passwords Members must create their own passwords and if forgotten reset using specific credentials to avoid any potential issues 10 Lefe Life November 2021 12 No Votes Cast 269 Did Not Vote No Longer Counted as No Votes Non Cast 348 336 YES Votes 12 NO Votes 269 Would not be counted towards vote total Keep in mind this proposed change will require voting under existing bylaws which means 412 residences must vote YES by January 25 2022 MPOA Updates 11
