Quorum for meeting of association
Establishes the quorum rule for Oregon condominium association meetings. Unless the bylaws specify otherwise, a quorum consists of persons entitled to cast twenty percent of the voting rights. If quorum cannot be organized at a properly noticed meeting, those present may adjourn and reconvene with a reduced quorum requirement — either half the bylaws' requirement or twenty percent of votes — subject to timing and re-notice conditions. Proxies and absentee ballots count toward establishing quorum.
