The Condominium Manual

A strata corporation’s bylaws may dictate voting procedures at general meetings, so long as those procedures comply with the Strata Property Act. The Standard Bylaws set out the following procedures:[46]

• Voting cards must be issued to eligible voters;
• A vote is decided by show of voting cards, unless an eligible voter requests a precise count;
• If a precise count is requested, the chair must decide if it will be by show of voting cards, by roll call, secret ballot or some other method;
• The outcome of each vote must be announced by the chair and recorded in the minutes. If a precise count was requested, the chair must also announce the number of votes for and against the resolution;
• If an eligible voter requests that a vote be held by secret ballot, the vote must be held by secret ballot; and
• If there is a tie vote, the president, or, if the president is absent or unable or unwilling to vote, the vice-president, may break the tie by casting a second, deciding vote. This tie-breaker provision does not apply if there are only two strata lots in the strata plan.
