I can’t speak for everyone but this is what we do in our HOA:
1. We hire a separate agency to supervise our elections and collect our ballots. We mail them over to their office.
2. The agency.
3. Based on experience, I would say paper ballots are preferred because there is less room for fraud or error.
4. It depends on your HOA. We include our lot number in our ballots. If your bylaws say you need to use secret ballots, then they have to be anonymous.
5. Your bylaws should be able to tell you that.
6. Your bylaws.
Hope this helps!
