39 Explanatory material accompanying voting paper [SM, s 90]

(1) A voting paper for a group of same-issue motions must be accompanied by an explanatory schedule.

(2) The explanatory schedule must include all of the following information—

(a) the title of the group as shown on the agenda for the meeting;

(b) a list of each original motion that is part of the group;

(c) an explanatory note stating that—

(i) voters may vote on each of the original motions that are part of the group; and

(ii) votes are counted for all original motions that are part of the group before the body corporate’s decision is determined; and

(iii) if a motion is a qualifying motion, the motion qualifies to be a decision of the body corporate; and

(iv) an original motion can not be amended at the general meeting; and

(v) if no original motion receives sufficient votes to pass according to the type of resolution required for the motion, the decision of the body corporate is that none of the original motions are passed.

Example of an explanatory note for paragraph (c)—

‘To vote on this group of same-issue motions, you may either vote in favour of, against, or abstain from voting on, each original motion in the group of same-issue motions. You may vote on more than 1 original motion.
Votes on each original motion in the group of same-issue motions will be counted in the order the original motions are listed in the agenda. When votes for all original motions have been counted, the original motion that receives the sufficient number of votes to pass according to the type of resolution required for the motion, and that also receives the highest number of votes in favour, is the decision of the body corporate about the group of same-issue motions. Only 1 original motion can be passed as the decision of the body corporate about the group of same-issue motions.
If no original motion receives the sufficient number of votes to pass according to the resolution required for the motion, the decision of the body corporate about the group of same-issue motions is that no original motion is passed.
Original motions in the group of same-issue motions can not be amended at the meeting.’.
