What do we know today?
"In response to owners’ requests, the Association will offer email voting in accordance with Section 718.128(7), Florida Statutes. As in prior years, the election will be administered by an independent third-party election monitor." (Association notice, October 1, 2026)
OPTION 1: BY EMAIL
- Owners choosing email voting will receive an “EMAIL BALLOT” from MYEMAILVOTE@2020VISION.MANAGEMENT
- Vote for no more than two (2) candidates. Voting for more than two candidates will invalidate the ballot.
- Type or print your name, type and print your unit number, make sure to send the ballot from the email used by the person who signed the Primary Occupant form.
- Email the completed ballot MYEMAILVOTE@2020VISION.MANAGEMENT
IMPORTANT: Email voting waives the secrecy of your ballot. If you wish to keep your ballot secret, use the Secret Ballot option. Email ballots will be received from MYEMAILVOTE@2020VISION.MANAGEMENT
OPTION 2: IN PERSON OR BY MAIL
- Owners receiving materials by U.S. mail may vote using the “THE SECRET BALLOT.”
- Vote for no more than two (2) candidates. Place the completed ballot in the Secret Ballot Envelope and seal it. Voting for more than two candidates will invalidate the ballot.
- Put your completed ballot into the BALLOT ENVELOPE and place your sealed ballot envelope into the MAILING ENVELOPE. Make sure to print your name, print your unit number and sign the mailing envelope and send it to the address below.
- Mail your ballot in the Mailing Envelope provided in your election package. Mail to “Election Monitor, 3850 S. University Drive, P.O. Box 290895 Davie, FL 33329,” or place it in the Election Monitor’s securely locked ballot box in the Association lobby by Monday, October 19, 2026.

The next steps, in the Association's own words
These are the Association's steps and the law's words, laid out simply. We have added nothing. The Association says: 'We ask owners to rely on the Association's official election notices and instructions.' (Association Manager, email of September 18, 2026)
Step 1. The Primary Occupant form
"The purpose of the Primary Occupant form is to authenticate the person responsible and authorized to vote in a meeting in which a vote is necessary."
"Owners who wish to submit or update a Primary Occupant Form should do so by October 19th, 2026, the day of the meeting."
To find it, the Association says: 'If you wish to review the Primary Occupant form, or submit a new one, you may do so on the association website: oceantowerone.com. 1. Go to Resources 2. Go to Media Library 3. Scroll to Ocean Tower One Condominium Documents 4. Scroll Down: you will see the OT1 Primary Occupant forms.' (Association notice, September 14, 2026)
The Association also says: 'Management will contact each owner who does not have a signed form and send those owners a Docusign.' and 'The association cannot verify an electronically signed form submitted through a 3rd-party website.' (Association notice, September 14, 2026)
- Open the blank Primary Occupant form (PDF).
- Open the Association's website. Official source.
- Read the Association's September 14 notice.
Questions about the form? Management office: 305-365-0090 or adminassist@oceantowerone.com.
Step 2. The email vote
The Association's October 1 notice says: 'Owners choosing email voting will receive an "EMAIL BALLOT" from MYEMAILVOTE@2020VISION.MANAGEMENT' and 'Type or print your name, type and print your unit number, make sure to send the ballot from the email used by the person who signed the Primary Occupant form.' and 'Email the completed ballot MYEMAILVOTE@2020VISION.MANAGEMENT' (Association notice, October 1, 2026)
The law says the ballot has 'A space for the unit owner to type in his or her unit number' and 'A space for the unit owner to type in his or her first and last name, which also functions as the signature of the unit owner for purposes of signing the ballot,' and that the owner must send it 'no later than the scheduled date and time of the meeting during which the matter is being voted on.' (Section 718.128(7)(c) and (d), Florida Statutes)
The SECRECY WAIVER. To waive something means to give it up. A secret ballot means no one can connect your vote to you. When you vote by email, you give that up. The law requires every email ballot to say this, in capital letters:
"WAIVING THE SECRECY OF YOUR BALLOT IS YOUR CHOICE. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIVE THE SECRECY OF YOUR BALLOT IN ORDER TO VOTE. BY TRANSMITTING YOUR COMPLETED BALLOT THROUGH E-MAIL TO THE ASSOCIATION, YOU WAIVE THE SECRECY OF YOUR COMPLETED BALLOT. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO WAIVE YOUR SECRECY BUT WISH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE VOTE THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS BALLOT, PLEASE ATTEND THE IN-PERSON MEETING DURING WHICH THE MATTER WILL BE VOTED ON."
We are still waiting for the ballot notice and the email ballot form. The Association says they are coming.
Step 3. Confirming receipt
The Association has not published how an owner gets confirmation that an email ballot was received. We have asked.
"Management has always been available to assist any owner or resident with questions regarding the election or their individual voting status."
Management office: 305-365-0090 or adminassist@oceantowerone.com.
What are we still waiting for?
- The ballot notice.
- The names of all four candidates.
- When email voting begins, and whether an owner can send a ballot now.
- How an owner gets confirmation that an email ballot was received.
- What disqualifies an email ballot.
- How a problem can be fixed before the deadline.
- The cutoff times.
- How the Primary Occupant form is checked.
