Candidate nomination
The Association's own nomination form, as a form you can actually fill in. It prints to the same fields in the same order, so what you hand in matches what they asked for.
Who is eligible
Under Election Rules § 2.1.1 any member of the Association may nominate themselves. § 2.1.2 lists the only grounds for disqualification — most commonly being behind on assessments.
That one has an exception worth knowing. Under § 2.1.2(a) you are not disqualified for delinquency if you have paid the disputed amount under protest (Civil Code § 5658), entered a payment plan (§ 5665), or requested internal dispute resolution. If a delinquency is the only thing standing between you and the ballot, those are live options — see Dues and assessments.
How to send it
A nomination counts when it arrives, not when you mail it. Send it far enough ahead of the close of nominations, and keep the receipt so you can show the date it landed if anyone later says it did not. What is scheduled.
Board of Directors
c/o Pernicano Realty and Management, Inc.
2851 Camino Del Rio So., Ste. 230
San Diego, CA 92108
619-543-9400
This is the managing agent's office, which is the address the Association's own architectural form directs owners to use. Address it to the Board of Directors in care of the management company, so there is no question that the Board received it.
Keep a copy of everything you send, and note the date. If you email as well, send it to management and ask for written acknowledgment.

- Print the document using the button above.
- Address the envelope to the Association exactly as shown, with your own unit address in the corner.
- Take it to any post office counter — certified mail cannot be sent from a mailbox.
- Ask for Certified Mail with Return Receipt, and say you want the electronic receipt: it costs less than the green card and arrives as a PDF.

USPS charges $0.82 postage, $5.55 for certified and $2.91 for the electronic return receipt — $9.28 in all, at the rates in force since 12 July 2026. Confirm pricing here.
Whichever route you take, keep the receipt. It is your proof of the date, and a deadline you cannot date is a deadline you cannot enforce — the certified receipt dates the day you sent it, and the return receipt dates the day somebody signed. We have no arrangement with any of these companies and earn nothing if you use them.
