31. Co-proprietors may vote by proxy jointly appointed by them and in the
absence of such proxy shall not be entitled to vote on a show of hands, except when
the unanimous resolution of proprietors is required by the Act; but any one co-
proprietor may demand a poll. On any poll such co-proprietor shall be entitled to such
part of the vote applicable to a condominium lot as is proportionate to his interest in
the condominium lot. The joint proxy (if any) on a poll shall have a vote proportionate
to the interests in the condominium lot of such of the joint proprietors as do not vote
personally or by individual proxy.
32. Where proprietors are entitled to successive interests in a condominium lot, the
proprietor entitled to the first interest shall alone be entitled to vote, whether on a
show of hands or a poll; and this by-law shall be applicable whether by the Act the
unanimous resolution of proprietors is required or not.
33. Where a proprietor holds his condominium lot as a trustee he shall exercise the
voting rights in respect of the condominium lot to the exclusion of persons
beneficially interested in the trust, and such persons shall not vote.
