I am unaware of any law that prevents renters from being elected to an HOA Board, but all the CC&Rs I have ever written or reviewed have always required that all Board members be current owners. An owner who sells before the end of her or his term ceases to be a Board member at the close of escrow, even if she or he continues to live in the unit.
Check the CC&RS. I expect you will find that they require ownership.
