A: If you've been removed from your HOA board, whether you can run again in the upcoming election in Indiana depends largely on your association's governing documents. Review the bylaws and any relevant policies to see if there are specific restrictions or disqualification periods for former directors. Some HOAs may have provisions that prevent removed members from running for a certain time or under particular circumstances.

Indiana state laws also play a role in determining eligibility. Generally, unless there's a specific prohibition in your HOA's rules or state statutes, being removed from the board doesn't automatically disqualify you from running again. It's important to ensure that any removal was conducted in accordance with the proper procedures outlined in your governing documents to avoid potential disputes.

To get a clear understanding of your situation, consider reaching out to your HOA's management or consulting with a legal professional who is familiar with Indiana HOA laws. They can provide guidance tailored to your specific circumstances and help you navigate the election process effectively. Taking these steps will help you determine your eligibility and the best way to proceed if you choose to run again.
