Group Housing Society Elections - Partial Nominations Recd.

You have two options. The 7 positions would be maximum and not minimum. Hence the 5 member commitee would suffice and the portfolio allocation can be done suitably. Alternatively, the 5 members elected, at their first meeting may co-opt two more MC members fro the eligible members.

It depends on which state the society is located in as different state Acts have different provisions. For example in Delhi there is no provision for co-option of MC members in the new Act. However I agree that 7 members is the upper limit and there is no bar on having a lower strength subject to the minimum strength of the MC as prescribed in the Bye-Laws of the society.
