(2) Despite subsection (1), a lot owner who is in arrears for any amount owed to an owners corporation may vote on any matter where a special resolution or unanimous resolution is required.
(3) For the purposes of subsection (1), the amount in arrears is taken to be paid in full if it is paid to the owners corporation—

before the lot owner is required to vote on the resolution.
