    Who says you can’t have an even number of members?  It’s not a good idea but it’s not illegal in NSW. Where are you writing from?

    Regarding the now vacant seat, all you have to do is to co-opt a new member at your next EC meeting and I would think the person who stood down to allow the numbers to be odd would be a candidate.

    The procedure for the election of and EC at a general meeting in NSW is that you must vote to decide howe many seats you want on the EC, then you call for nominations, then you have a vote if the number of candidates exceeds  the number of seats.

    You shouldn’t have been in the position of taking nominations before you decided on the number of seats.

    At the risk of insulting yu and your colleagues on the EC. the SCA (strata managers) run an excellent online EC members training course which all of you would do well to undertake.  You’ll find it HERE.
