An Associate Member (a person with joint ownership whose name does not stand first in the Share Certificate) for whom the Original Member has not issued a No-Objection Certificate cannot contest the Election.
Co-operative housing societies follow the model bye-laws, which are comprehensive and prescribe a number of rules and procedures for elections.
