How digital voting works in condominium assemblies, what makes it legally valid, and how platforms like Quorum make it accessible to every building in Europe.
For decades, condominium general assemblies across Europe have followed the same ritual: owners gather in a common room, raise their hands, and a secretary counts the votes. Absent owners send a paper proxy — if they remember — or simply miss their chance to weigh in on decisions that affect their property and finances.
Digital voting changes this. Platforms like Quorum allow absent co-owners to cast their vote before the assembly date, with full legal validity. Every vote is recorded with a timestamp, the voter's identity, and their choice — creating an immutable audit trail that is far more reliable than handwritten minutes.
In most European countries, co-ownership law requires a quorum — a minimum level of participation — before votes are binding. When owners cannot attend, quorum is harder to reach, and assemblies are postponed or repeated. Digital voting directly addresses this by making participation possible regardless of physical presence.
For buildings in Luxembourg (under the Loi du 16 mai 1975), France (loi du 10 juillet 1965), Germany (WEG), or the Nordic countries, the ability to collect votes digitally means higher turnout, fewer postponed meetings, and decisions that actually reflect the will of the majority.
The key elements are: identity verification (the voter is who they claim to be), a clear audit trail (who voted, when, and what they chose), immutability (votes cannot be edited or deleted after submission), and compliance with the relevant national co-ownership legislation.
Quorum implements all four: every voter is authenticated, every vote is timestamped and logged, and the audit trail is locked once the assembly closes. The result is a record that is at least as reliable as a paper vote — and far easier to verify in case of dispute.
Before the assembly date, the building manager sets the agenda and opens voting. Absent owners receive a notification and can review each motion, read supporting documents, and cast their vote on each agenda item. When the assembly takes place, in-person votes are recorded alongside the digital ones, and the final tally reflects both.
Proxy delegations are also supported: any owner can formally delegate their voting rights to another person, which is recorded in the system before the assembly opens.
If your building is in Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, or Finland, you can try Quorum free for 30 days. Setup takes about 5 minutes — add your building, invite your residents, and schedule your first assembly.
