Are all lot owners entitled to obtain the voting count for committee candidates from an AGM?
All lot owners are entitled to obtain the voting count for committee candidates from an AGM.
In NSW, lot owners are entitled to obtain the voting results for strata committee elections held at an Annual General Meeting.
Under the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015, the owners corporation is required to keep records of meetings, including motions and election outcomes. These records form part of the strata records, which any lot owner is entitled to inspect or obtain copies of upon request.
This entitlement includes the voting count for strata committee candidates (i.e. the number of votes received by each candidate and the final outcome of the election).
Where an election is conducted by secret ballot, the secrecy relates to how individual owners voted in the meeting. Individual voting papers must disclose the voter's name and lot details, the overall vote counts, and election results are not confidential and remain accessible to lot owners as part of the strata records.
Accordingly, all lot owners are entitled to obtain the voting count for committee candidates from an AGM.
