Your governing documents define a quorum. For example, it may state that 'twenty-five percent of the ownership must be present in person, by proxy, or written ballot' in order to establish a quorum.
The board's responsibility is to secure the ballots or proxies or commitments from every owner to appear one way or another in meetings where a quorum is required.
If a quorum is not met, the meeting must be postponed until such time as a quorum can be assembled.
If this is the first election for a board, interested owners who understand association governance can rally themselves and organize a quorum around members who want to run for director positions.

How many HOA board members needed for a HOA?
Your answer depends on the size of the association. You'll need a different number of board members for an association with 100 units than you'll need for one with 3,000. Generally, your governing documents state the number of members required for the board, and for ease of voting majorities, this number is best an odd number.

Generally board members own units. Rarely, especially during the early years of an association, the developer may include board members who are not owners or residents.

It is unlikely that there are any controls on who can be on a HOA board. I would suggest that you research your bylaws for the best information.
Can board members decrease from 5 HOA board members to 3 members?
Read your governing documents to determine the process required to make this change. It is possible that if only three board members are elected, the number -- for the duration of those terms -- automatically becomes three. Be aware, however, that a three-member board may be hampered in its ability to 'do the work', given busy lives, illness, non-resident owners and so forth. When even one member is not available for a meeting, and the two remaining directors cannot agree on a vote, then, the matter must await a new meeting, the presence of the third director and a new vote. When two members are not available, no work can be done.

Read your governing documents to understand how long elected directors serve when no annual meeting takes place. As well, read there whether or not an annual meeting 'shall' take place, and the agenda items that must be addressed during such a meeting. Your state law may also cover these issues, and an association-savvy attorney can help you identify whether or not a law has been broken, whose fee you can share among all interested owners. The following assumes that the members want an active and involved board to conduct the business of the association. Read your governing documents to determine the appropriate process for calling a meeting of the members. Be prepared to include an agenda, to motivate members to attend the meeting -- here, to elect a new board of directors. Once a quorum of members is established -- or the percentage of members required under your governing documents to conduct the business called for in the agenda -- you can take the appropriate action. Include an association manager being paid by members' assessments, and leverage their expertise.
How do you vote out your hoa?
Read your governing documents to discover the process necessary to recall directors. Usually a minimum number of owners can call an owners meeting and make a motion to recall directors. The process requires a percentage of owners to vote, be present and to vote for the recall. Proxies are usually allowed. What is important is that you have a follow-up plan once the directors have been recalled. You still have a multimillion dollar association to operate, govern and protect, preserve and maintain.
