I am a bit confused about what your concerns are …Is the secret ballot vote for committee members a secret ballot at a general meeting?
Is the secret ballot vote a vote for general positions (and specific positions are decided at the committee meeting immediately following the general meeting) or is the secret ballot vote for specific positions at the general meeting?
Can you provide an example of the Motion where a secret ballot was called for?
I am also confused. Is the objection that a) a secret ballot was called or b) the result was kept secret?
If a) then you have to make sure everyone who voted was entitled to vote (this doesn’t affect the secrecy as you don’t know how they voted). You also need to check that they were validly nominated (e.g. NOT by someone who was also standing for election). These records have to be kept by the owners corp so it should be easy to check (if you force them to show you).
If b) you are entitled to know who was elected and who they then chose as officers of the committee. That should be in the minutes of the AGM and the minutes of every strata committee meeting thereafter.
