Corporations Act 2001

At a meeting of a registered scheme’s members, a poll may be demanded by:

at least 5 members present entitled to vote on the resolution; or

members present with at least 5% of the votes that may be cast on the resolution on a poll; or

the chair.

A registered scheme’s constitution may provide that fewer members or members with a lesser percentage of votes may demand a poll.

The poll may be demanded:

before a vote is taken; or

before the voting results on a show of hands are declared; or

immediately after the voting results on a show of hands are declared.

The percentage of votes that members have is to be worked out as at close of business on the day before the poll is demanded.
