Reconstruction General Meeting, 'Electronic Voting' Allowed in Case of Disaster or Infectious Disease Concerns

Amendment Promulgated... Effective from the 11th

From now on, in reconstruction and redevelopment projects, if there are restrictions on gatherings due to disasters or the spread of infectious diseases, it will be allowed to exercise voting rights at the general meeting of the association electronically.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 10th that the amendment to the "Enforcement Decree of the Urban and Residential Environment Improvement Act," which includes this content, has been promulgated and will be enforced from the 11th.

According to the amendment, the reasons for exercising voting rights electronically are specified in detail.

If a disaster occurs or measures to restrict or prohibit gatherings for the prevention of infectious diseases are imposed in the area where the maintenance district is located, and the mayor or county governor recognizes that it is difficult for members to attend in person, voting rights can be exercised electronically and will be considered as if attended in person.

In addition, to improve administrative efficiency, it is stipulated that the tasks related to the establishment and operation of the maintenance project management system shall be entrusted to the Korea Real Estate Board, a support organization for maintenance projects.

Through this, information related to maintenance projects such as the progress status of maintenance projects, project implementation plans, and management disposition plans, which are currently managed by each local government, will be integrated nationwide and managed systematically.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport explained, "With this amendment, voting by electronic means will be possible in maintenance project districts where holding general meetings is difficult due to the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19, and it is expected that housing supply through maintenance projects can proceed without disruption."

It added, "By having a specialized institution establish and operate the maintenance project management system, it is expected that the status of maintenance projects can be quickly and accurately grasped, and various related statistics can be produced and utilized."
