CORPORATIONS LAW- SECT 250J

How voting is carried out (replaceable rule—see section 135)

 
 
(1)
A resolution put to the vote at a meeting of a
company's members must be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is
demanded.


(1A)
Before a vote is taken the chair must inform the meeting whether
any proxy votes have been received and how the proxy votes are to be
cast.


(2)
On a show of hands, a declaration by the chair is conclusive
evidence of the result, provided that the declaration reflects the show of
hands and the votes of the proxies received. Neither the chair nor the minutes
need to state the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour or
against. 
 
 
 Note: Even though the
chair's declaration is conclusive of the voting results, the members present
may demand a poll (see paragraph 250L(3)(c)).
