Household Voting

For HOA elections, typically one vote is allowed per property (household), not per person. Vlge supports three modes:

  • First Wins - The first person in a household to vote casts the official vote. Others cannot vote.

  • Last Wins - Each vote replaces the previous one. The last vote before the deadline counts.

  • Individual - Each person votes independently (for surveys or non-binding polls).
