We have this situation for our annual meeting on Thursday night. The people and proxies count toward the quorum if though some cannot vote due to delinquent dues.

Do your or docs. or state laws require they must be notified or otherwise have a hearing (BoD meeting) to officially suspend their rights?
In Fla. there must be a proceeding such as a BoD meeting (due process) and a BoD vote to suspend their voting rights. Just being delinquent does not in and of itself suspend their voting rights automatically or by default.

Claudia,
The typical answer is yes.
A quorum is typically made up of x% of members present in person or by proxy. I doubt your governing documents says that a quorum is present by x% of members who have voting rights. However, you should check your Governing documents to see how the Association defines a quorum.

Agreed Tim.
However, this year Florida added language stating those who have been stripped of voting rights DO NOT count towards a quorum.

I have seen quorum requirements stated as "xx percent of the members entitled to vote" which would exclude members who have lost voting rights for some reason (such as nonpayment of association fees).

And then there's Kansas law, which states that delinquent homeowners are always allowed to vote, unless the vote in question deals directly with HOA assessments.
