Will “electronic voters” be disenfranchised by the new Regulations?

Will “electronic voters” be disenfranchised by the new Regulations in that they have been deprived of the right to vote for those persons who have nominated for the Strata Committee?   The new Regulations DO allow electronic voting before a meeting on matters  “not being an election”.   In other words, Pre Meeting (electronic) voting excludes voting for any nominees for Committee.

If a scheme adopts electronic voting, owners who want to have a say as to who is on the Strata Committee will still need to appoint a proxy or attend the meeting if they want to vote for the persons they believe most suitable and also for the number of persons on the Strata Committee. 

The new Legislation still allows those present at the meeting to vote on (and control) the number of persons on the Strata Committee and who they will be – as it is now.

In QLD the Election of Committee is placed on the Agenda, owners pre -nominate and ALL OWNERS have an equal opportunity to vote for members of the Strata Committee.    Owners at the meeting can also nominate if there are vacancies and I know usually there are plenty of those.   

I dont understand the logic behind this decision.
