    As in nominated by one person and seconded by another who are not standing for the position ?  

    There is no seconder required for a strata committee election.  All that’s required is that the person making the nomination is: 

    a) not standing for election themselves
    b) not nominating more than one person
    c) ‘financial’ at the time of the meeting
    d) if they nominated themselves, they are not co-owners of their unit

    If any member of the committee fails on any of these, they should stand down immediately (although the committee can just reappoint them). At least their incompetence and lack of knowledge of basic strata law would be exposed.

    I will look into the issue of secret ballots for strata committee office-bearer roles later.
