Can a private vote be held at the May 31 SGM?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from The Owners, Strata Plan NW 2243 v. Cole, 2018 BCCRT 823 (CanLII):
115. A private vote must be held in a manner that provides for a private location for the voter to mark, and deposit, the ballot. A private ballot is not private when others can easily see responses marked on voting cards (see Imbeau v. Owners Strata Plan NW 971, 2011 BCSC 801). I accept that the March 21, 2018 voting procedure did not allow for each owner and/or proxy to vote and deposit their ballots in private. I do not make the same finding for the secret ballot procedures at the May 31, 2018 SGM.
