The general meeting of residents of an apartment building can solve a lot of issues. The Housing Code gives owners great authority. But it is far from always possible to bring residents together. The legislation allows for the holding of a general meeting in absentia. In fact, this means collecting signatures. Signatures are needed under various appeals, collective letters. Nomination of candidates for deputies in single-mandate constituencies also involves the collection of signatures.
You will need
- - subscription lists;
- - a pen;
- - a computer;
- - a printer;
- - the decision of the in-person meeting by the choice of the chairman of the HOA, housing cooperative, the Council of tenants, etc.
Instruction manual
1
To collect signatures from the residents of your home, you must prepare signature sheets. It is possible that samples of some of them are in the local council of deputies, the territorial election commission or the city administration. It all depends on the reason for which you intend to collect signatures. Local government bodies may have forms of signature sheets not only regarding the referendum. If the administration is serious about solving communal problems, then it is also developing a set of documentation that can only be taken.

Subscription lists can be done by yourself. It is important that they contain the necessary information about the residents. Such information includes surname, name and patronymic, date of birth, passport details, registration address, landline or cell phone number. If one or more apartment owners live in other places, but are going to participate in solving the problem you have raised, you must indicate in the signature sheet the basis on which they have the right to put their signature. Such a basis may be data on the document of ownership. To collect signatures in support of a referendum or candidate for deputies, it is enough to indicate the registration address. In this case, only voters residing in the district in which the candidate is running may sign the signatures.
3
Compose the text of the appeal or decision of the general meeting to be signed. The text should not be very long and clear. If necessary, refer to other documents - legislative acts, resolutions of local authorities. Articles of the contract with the management company, etc. If there is a need and the text is short enough, you can place it at the top of each subscription sheet. In other cases, number and stitch the sheets.
4
Decide who will collect the signatures. Signature sheets for nominating candidates for deputies are usually collected by members of the campaign headquarters or initiative groups living in your home or somewhere nearby. Another thing is the decision of the general meeting of homeowners. In this case, make sure that the signature collector is a legitimate person. The absentee voting must be preceded by an in-person general meeting, at which it is necessary to select a person authorized to represent the interests of residents in relations with utilities or municipal authorities. This may be the chairman of the HOA or the Council of the house. You can also choose senior on the porch and on the floor. They can collect signatures in the territory entrusted to them.
5
Ensure that the signature sheets are completed correctly. There should be no errors in design and data recorded from memory or from other people's words. If it comes to painting the entrance, one or two incorrectly filled cells will not play a special role, but the candidate for deputy may lose the opportunity to run because of incorrectly executed signature sheets.
