Hi Brains trust!,

My issue is about creating a clear way for people to vote for multiple executive committee members ballot via proxies.

Background: Alot of our owners cannot attend and vote by proxy and therefore, their ability to vote for EC members is not straight forward. Due to the conflict in our strata scheme, most elections go to a poll vote.

Let’s assume at the AGM the OC votes to have 7 EC members. The next step is the ballot to elect the EC members.

How do absent owners vote by proxy in this ballot? If I have 7 people in mind I would vote for to fill the positions(assuming they are nominated), How do I use the standard proxy form to lodge my vote for those 7 people? Can I rank my votes in order, so if the OC decides the EC should have 5 members, my votes will be applied in my preferred order?

In an EC ballot, do you vote FOR each nomination, or do you vote FOR AND AGAINST each nomination?

Thanks and regards,

Jamie

p.s to all, thank you for all the answers to mine and others questions in this place. It is reassuring to see the energy people have put into helping others solve these difficult situations!
