    Further to Peter’s response (with which I agree), the relevant Legislation is the NSW Strata Schemes Management Act (SCMA) which at Schedule 2, Cl 20. states that  with regard to the recording of votes, the declaration of the Chairperson is sufficient to declare the outcome of Motions resolved by way of a “hands-up” vote, but by its use of the words “otherwise than on a poll” infers that resolutions determined by way of a poll vote must record the details for and against the Motions.

    With regard to Meetings of Executive Committees, Schedule 3, Pt 2 of the SCMA sets out the procedures to be followed, and in summary those cannot be conducted by way of a “secret conclave”.

    Whilst it’s said that “he who hold the pen controls history” it is customary, although not mandatory, for General Meeting Agendas to include a Motion for those present to resolve to confirm the Minutes of the previous Meeting as a true record of those proceedings. That’s your opportunity to have the Minutes amended, or at worst to request a poll vote on that Motion so that the numbers for and against acceptance may be at least recorded.
