In NSW, owners can nominate themselves, another owner, or a non-owner (for example, a tenant) for election. The owners corporation elects one to nine committee members at the AGM. A person generally cannot join if they owe money to the scheme at the time of the AGM; other exclusions include building managers and agents who lease lots in the scheme, unless they also own a lot. The rules also limit how many representatives from one lot can serve.

Flat Chat’s discussion of who can and can’t stand for election is a useful overview, but it’s commentary rather than definitive legal advice. See the current NSW Government committee guidance for details.
