A homeowners association (HOA) is an organization that makes and enforces rules and guidelines for a subdivision, planned community, or inium building. HOA members are the residents of the subdivision, community, or building.

Section 4900 of the Act says that all HOA board meetings must be open to all association members, with a few exceptions for private sessions. In California, executive sessions are closed-door talks that only board members, and certain other people can attend.

In 2024, the California legislature passed an amendment that allowed online elections to be held within HOAs. It recognized that this could open the door to digital vote manipulation within the HOA's management, though, so the state mandated that each HOA election needed to have an independent inspector of elections.
