FAQ: General Body Elections
What is a GBE? The formal election of your managing committee — President, Secretary, Treasurer, and members.
How is it different from a poll? Elections have nominations, scrutiny, and phased voting; polls are single-question votes with admin-defined options.
Who is the Election Officer? A neutral Returning Officer — can be a resident or external party — who runs scrutiny and declares results. Access is scoped to one election.
Is the ballot secret? Yes by default. Individual ballot-to-candidate mappings are never exposed.
What is instant-runoff? Ranked-choice voting: if no candidate gets a majority, last-place votes redistribute until one wins.
What if only one person nominates? Uncontested post — winner declared without a vote.
Can multi-flat owners nominate twice? One nomination per flat owner account per post; voting is one ballot per flat.
Can I change my ballot? No — ballots are final once submitted.
