Hi Elvis,
Candidate C can challenge the election outcome by submitting a formal written complaint to the HOA board, highlighting the departure from the bylaws and established election procedures. If the board refuses to consider the complaint, C can gather support from other members to request a special meeting for a reevaluation. Mediation or arbitration can be pursued if internal remedies are available. As a last resort, C might consider legal action by consulting an attorney specializing in HOA law to potentially nullify the election results and call for a new election. Alternatively, C can file a complaint with a state or local HOA regulatory agency if one exists. It is important for C to document all communications and gather evidence to support the case.
Hope this helps.
