HOA Board Candidate Nomination Form

Elections

Form for homeowners to self-nominate or nominate another eligible homeowner for a board director position.

About this template

A standardized nomination form ensures all candidate information is captured consistently and that the board can verify eligibility before placing candidates on the ballot. The form collects the candidate's qualifications, a brief candidate statement, and an attestation that the candidate meets the eligibility requirements in the governing documents. Consistent use of this form reduces disputes about candidate eligibility and creates a clean paper trail for the election.

What's included
  • Candidate name, unit address, and contact information
  • Self-nomination or nomination-by-another option
  • Candidate eligibility attestation (homeowner in good standing, no delinquencies)
  • Candidate statement field (for inclusion with the ballot)
  • Prior board or community involvement section
  • Submission instructions and deadline
When to use this template

Distribute this form with your election notice, at least 30–45 days before the election. Set a nomination deadline of at least 2 weeks before the ballot is finalized so the board has time to verify candidate eligibility.
