Jimmy you say: The secretary only has to ensure that anyone who is entitled to vote can do so.
So who is entitled to vote other than owners? For instance, can a non-owner vote, even if on a strata committee?
And Crispy, you are spot on regarding the power that an SC can have. They have the strata roll, after all. Not only can they email every owner suggesting how to vote, they can also send out emails and newsletters to owners supporting/not supporting a motion or even something as simple as maintaining and repairing common property.
I think strata is a national scandal that needs to have a royal commission.
And here’s a curved ball question Jimmy, when does the strata committee not become an SC? At the beginning or end of an Annual General Meeting? That is, can they still act as committee members when voting on motions takes place?
