How to run an online AGM for your housing society
To run an online AGM you announce the meeting with an agenda, collect RSVPs, hold it (in person, online, or hybrid), put resolutions to a transparent vote, and publish the minutes. Plinth does the whole lifecycle in one place — and online/virtual meetings are recognised under the Maharashtra Model Bye-laws (2025–26).
The lifecycle of a clean AGM
- Announce the meeting with date, time, venue/video link and a numbered agenda.
- Collect RSVPs so you can anticipate attendance and quorum.
- Hold the meeting — record attendance.
- Vote on resolutions — using secret, audit-logged ballots, with quorum and weighting applied.
- Publish minutes (MoM) and circulate them to every member.
Why do it on a governance platform
A WhatsApp poll can't produce a defensible record. A governance platform ties the agenda to the actual resolutions, records who attended and how the vote went, and keeps an append-only audit trail — exactly what co-op registrars and courts look for if an AGM decision is challenged.
How Plinth helps
Schedule the meeting, announce it to members, gather RSVPs, and publish minutes — and because Plinth is voting-first, agenda items can be resolved with the same trusted poll/election engine your society already uses.
