Logically, a vote in which money is a critical factor (and therefore tied to HOA dues levied on a unit basis) should be based on units. On the other hand, a vote affecting members individually and not tied to cash flow from a specific unit should be based on members. In addition, some issues involving children might include the children as voters.
