Hi all,
I'm responsible for taking minutes in a QLD incorporated association. I'm looking for some guidance around what needs to be recorded. For example, in voting for management committee members at the AGM, should the number of votes for, against and abstain be recorded or simply the result (i.e. carried or not carried)? If there is no legal requirement one way or the other, what would be best practice in terms of recording the votes. Finally, what method should be used for voting in people (e.g. management committee, life members)? I would think secret ballot if a vote involves people but I've seen both secret ballot and show of hands in old minutes.
