### sec.106 Casting an electronic vote—open motion
This section applies if the body corporate has by ordinary resolution decided that voters may cast an electronic vote on a motion.
The body corporate may pass a resolution mentioned in subsection (1) only if the body corporate operates a system for receiving electronic votes that—
rejects a vote cast by a person who—
is not eligible to vote on the motion; or
has already cast a vote on the motion; and
does not allow a person other than the secretary to receive the electronic votes.
The system for receiving electronic votes may allow a voter who is present personally at the general meeting to cast a vote electronically at the meeting.
The system may allow voters to cast a vote using a computer, smartphone or tablet computer.
Also, to cast an electronic vote a person must comply with—
the instructions given by the secretary under section 88 (5) (f) , to the extent the instructions are consistent with a requirement mentioned in paragraph (b) , so that the secretary receives the vote—
before the general meeting; or
if the system for receiving electronic votes allows a person to cast a vote electronically at the general meeting—at the meeting; and
any requirement under the Electronic Transactions (Queensland) Act 2001 about how a document must be signed or sent electronically.
An electronic vote on a motion may be withdrawn by a voter at any time before the result of the motion is declared, except that an owner’s electronic vote can not be withdrawn by a person voting as the proxy for the owner.
