Question: A proposed bylaw amendment aims to change the colour of exterior doors, which requires a special resolution. The condominium has 50 units. At the meeting, 30 owners are present, representing 60% of total unit factors. All 30 vote in favour. Does the bylaw amendment pass?

Answer options:

• Yes, because 100% of those present voted in favour. ✅ No, because the required percentage of all owners entitled to vote (75%) was not met.
• Yes, as long as the board approves it afterwards.
• No, because only 60% of unit factors were represented at the meeting.

Correct answer: No, because the required percentage of all owners entitled to vote (75%) was not met.

Explanation: For a special resolution to pass, 75% of ALL persons entitled to vote and 75% of the total unit factors must approve it. Even if all 30 owners present voted in favour, that only constitutes 30 out of 50 total owners (60%), which is less than the required 75%. The bylaw amendment would not pass.
