I was a candidate and didn't buy my unit from DRI. It doesn't matter how you acquired it, if you own it you can run and vote. Since DRI is willing to violate both the Association rules and Hawaii State Law, without consequences, there is little we can do. Only by gathering enough upset owners who are willing to contribute enough to hire an outside attorney will anything happen. Instead, DRI picks up more units, gets more votes and gains stronger control. I'm sure they would tell you that the "developer" (DRI) gets the one seat. Their other seats are due to their ownership of voting units that have been deeded to their "Trust"
