Isn’t ‘the spouse of an owner’ also an owner? An owner can vote on an item they have put on the agenda.
It’s not as simple as that and a lot depends on how they managed to get themselves nominated to the committee.
The co-owner of a unit has to be nominated for the EC by someone who is another owner who is not standing for election themselves. Self nomination and cross-nomination of co-owners is not allowed.
This is what the Act says:
A person who is co-owner of a lot may not be a candidate for election as a member of the executive committee unless the person is nominated for office:
(a) by an owner who is not a co-owner of the lot, or
(b) by a co-owner of the lot who is not a candidate for election as a member.
