If someone pays all their unpaid levies on the day of the AGM, can they cast a vote at the AGM? If they pay by bank transfer on the day, does the money have to be in the strata’s account before the meeting starts? This is in NSW. thanks

Technically they have to pay at least the day before.

Bette,
The problem is that there is no way for the owners corporation knowing that the payment will actually go through correctly and not bounce back. This can be said for EFT or cheque payments.
If their vote had changed the outcome of the vote in any way, you would challenge it either at a reconvened General meeting or via the CTTT. You would also seriously look at the roles of your office-bearers and/or strata managers for allowing this to happen.
