    I know of two schools of thought on that matter.
    One is you get to vote because you have paid.

    The other is that because it is a cheque you are not actually deemed financial until the money is in the OCs bank account. The cheque needs to be banked, cleared and the funds transferred before the OC actually has your money. This train of thought is backed by various pieces of legislation.

    The good news is that there are proposed changes on this issue but i believe it involves the person in arrears needing to banked the cheque 4 days prior to the meeting and if it does not appear in the OC account before the meeting it is still deemed to have been paid – that is the gist of what is proposed.

    Bring cash – or stay financial, they are the best options.
