Q: If a member runs for election to the Association Board, then removes her name from consideration, can he/she request that her accumulated mail-in votes be given to another candidate who is running?
The simple answer is no. Unless there are special bylaws provisions for allowing a candidate to control the application of the votes cash for him, the votes are only good for this one election. The will of the voter was to cast the vote for the person only.
Let us assume that in the three way race, no candidate receives a majority. A second ballot would be required. Before issuing the second ballot, a candidate can encourage those who voted for him on the first ballot to vote for a specific candidate on the second ballot. The voters would still be free to cast their votes as their wish, the desire of the candidates not withstanding.
