Hi timSP,
The relevant part of the legislation is Schedule 1 to the Strata Schemes Management Act and the Strata Schemes Management Regulation. [not sure why but I can’t put a link to this here…]
You’re right. You can’t vote on the committee electronically. per s14A(a) of the Regulation: ‘an election must not be determined by pre-meeting electronic voting.’
The notice of meeting must include a call for nominations per s 5(1) of Schedule 1
A nomination may be made in writing before the meeting or orally at the meeting per s5(5).
This is reiterated in the Regulation s 9 and 10.
So decide your timing carefully. If there is a physical/electronic meeting at a particular time and place (as there needs to be to elect a committee) you could simply ensure you are there, nominate orally and point out that any pre-meeting electronic votes for the committee are invalid per the Regulation.
Note also that, per s9(e) of Sched 1 there must be a ‘…motion to decide the number of members of the strata committee’ as well as a motion for their election per s9(f).
Hope this helps! Good luck!
