At the end of our AGM nominations were requested for the strata cttee. Amazingly, 10 people volunteered. After a vote it was decided that only 5 owners could serve on the cttee.
A popularity contest then followed with each owner given a voting slip with 5 names to be written down. All the nominees were in attendance except one. This person was on the previous cttee but hardly ever attended any meetings.
He nominated himself and this decision was conveyed by the chairman. When it came to the vote to choose the five Cttee members, the chairman wrote down 5 choices on behalf of the missing nominee.
Consequently, and to the amazement of the 5 disappointed nominees, the missing candidate was voted back onto the ctte. It seemed like an attempt to keep some active owner occupiers off of the cttee, which is now 4:1 in favour of investors.
Can the chair act in this way and effectively, decide on behalf of the absent nominee where to direct the rest of his votes?
Thanks in anticipation
