       Election of executive committee

    (1)  At a meeting of an owners corporation at which its executive committee is to be elected, the chairperson must:

    (a)  announce the names of the candidates already nominated in writing for election to the executive committee, and

    (b)  call for any oral nominations of candidates eligible for election to the executive committee.

    (2)  A written or oral nomination made for the purposes of such an election is ineffective if it is made by a person other than the nominee unless it is supported by the consent of the nominee given:

    (a)  in writing, if the nominee is not present at the meeting, or

    (b)  orally, if the nominee is present at the meeting.

    (3)  After the chairperson declares that nominations have closed, the owners corporation is to decide, in accordance with clause 2 (2) of Schedule 3 to the Act, the number of members of the executive committee.

    (4)  If the number of candidates:

    (a)  is the same as, or fewer than, the number of members of the executive committee decided on—those candidates are to be declared by the chairperson to be, and are taken to have been, elected as the executive committee, or

    (b)  is greater than the number so decided on—a ballot is to be held.

    It is like cooking a cake and the Regs are the recipe.

    Clause 4 of Sch 3 of the SSMA 1996

    (2)  When a vacancy occurs in the office of a member of an executive committee (otherwise than by reason of subclause (1) (d)), the owners corporation must appoint a person eligible for election as a member to fill the vacancy. Any person so appointed holds office, subject to this clause, for the balance of his or her predecessor’s term of office.

    It sound as if the vacancy needs to be filled ASAP but what it says and what it actualy means can be different things.
