    This article was  published shortly after the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Alternative Arrangements for Meetings for Management Corporations, Subsidiary Management Corporations and Collective Sale Committees) Order 2020 (“the Order”)  was issued on 27th April 2020. The strata community then was confused as to the exact requirements for an electronic voting platform. This was written to serve as a basic checklist for an electronic voting platform.

General meetings via electronic means will continue to stay and a hybrid model would likely be the preferred mode  in future when the existing pandemic is over.
