Judicial Review Timeline & Key Documents

7/25/2025- A petition with the Los Angeles Superior Court and assigned to Judge Honeycutt. The lawsuit seeks to compel the PVHA to:

• Open the ballots received for the Jan 2025 election, count them, and accept the top five candidates as Directors

• Lower the quorum on future elections to 20% from 50%

• Lower the quorum on changing the By-Laws from 67% to 40%

• Require all candidates (including incumbents) to comply with the process for collecting nominating signatures

• Require PVHA to do three ballot mailings (unless a quorum has been reached with less than 3 mailings)

• Allow for proxies, drop-off of ballots, and cumulative voting (which means if there are 5 positions, the voter can allocate 5 votes however the voter wants, such as on vote for each for 5 candidates or 5 votes for one candidate)
