Community Land Management Regulation 2021

At a meeting of an association at which its association committee is elected, the chairperson must—

announce the names of the candidates already nominated in writing for election to the association committee, and

call for oral nominations of candidates eligible for election to the association committee.

A written or oral nomination made for the purposes of the election is ineffective unless it is made by the nominee or supported by the consent of the nominee given—

in writing, if the nominee is not present at the meeting, or

orally, if the nominee is present at the meeting.

After the chairperson declares that nominations have closed, the association must decide, in accordance with the Act, the number of members of its association committee.

If the number of candidates is—

the same as, or fewer than, the number of members—the candidates must be declared by the chairperson to be, and are taken to have been, elected as the association committee, or

greater than the number of members—a ballot must be held.
