An ex-officio member can vote. The word ex-officio simply means that the person is a member of a committe or board because of their position, i.e., president but has nothing to do with that person's right to vote on the committee (for which they are rightfully a member).

Generally, if the ex officio member owns property in the association, the member's vote is already defined as that of an owner, when voting on matters with other owners. If there is no property ownership, there may be no vote unless it is expressly granted in the governing documents.
As to an ex officio member of the board -- if that's the case -- this member may or may not be allowed to vote with other board members on issues only voted on by the board.

Ex-officio (not sure of the proper term but ex officio members of a committee can vote). The term means by virtue of office.

A person on duty is ex officio?
This means, roughly, "by way of office". This term is often used by people following Robert's Rules of Order. A person may be a member of a committee because he was voted into the committee by the membership. Other committee members may be members because of other positions or offices that they hold in the organization. As an example, the organization's elected treasurer may be, ex officio, a member of the Finance Committee, and this is made clear in the organization's bylaws, or other documents establishing the organization's authority. In this example, the treasurer doesn't have to be nominated as a member of the Finance Committee, and there is no vote on this. As soon as one is elected treasurer, she/he is "ex officio" a member of the Finance Committee. Or perhaps the Mayor is ex officio the member of some committee. This membership is not "honorary", as is sometimes mistakenly assumed. It is a full membership with the rights and privileges that go along with membership, unless limited by some other actions of the organization.
