    Another question, what would happen in the AGM if a voting ends with a tie, for example voting for a member for the committee or over a strata issue?

    You’d go to a poll vote (counting unit entitlements).  If it was still equal you could call for a re-vote, in case someone changes their mind.  Finally the status quo would prevail in a decision on an issue.  Not sure with a committee election – I think you would re-do the process but just add one seat so that both tied owners were elected.

    What you would not do is to allow the incumbent candidate in a tie to automatically keep their seat. The chair doesn’t have a casting vote in NSW.
