Surveys can provide a valuable indicator of how the majority of owners are thinking – or if they are thinking about a topic at all – but, like the polls before a political election, they are not a substitute for the real thing when votes have actual consequences.
In your position I would put a motion to your committee that any report on these straw polls should:
- present a summary of how many owners or residents were contacted
- how they were contacted
- the total number of responses
- the results be presented to the strata committee for consideration before they were presented to the owners corporation as the basis for any motions to a general meeting.
I would add as a footnote that any perceived lack of transparency undermines the credibility of what could and should be a valuable tool in the management of your community.
