sec.31 Conduct of ballot—deciding ordinary member positions [SM, s 39 ]

This section applies if, at an annual general meeting, it is necessary to conduct a ballot for ordinary members of the committee. The persons who receive the highest numbers of votes in the ballot, in descending order until the committee numbers the maximum number of voting members for the committee, must be declared elected as the ordinary members. If, on a counting of votes, 2 or more persons each receive an identical number of votes and the number of persons to be elected would be exceeded if the 2 or more persons were declared elected, the result of the ballot must be decided between the 2 or more persons by chance in the way the meeting decides. For the counting of votes for positions of ordinary members of the committee cast before the annual general meeting, a vote cast for each person who has already been elected to an executive member position is void.
