In Tamil Nadu Who can contest election in a residential apartment complex?

Q: Please clarify whether Tamil Nadu apartment owners act is a template and contents can be modified to suit apartment complex or is the provision binding on ALL apartment complexes?
Can OWNER's SPOUSE or PARENT contest election to office bearers?

Thank you. In our Association Bye laws, there is no provision for Associare member category. Can this be incorporated and approved in EGM and then pave way for voting or contesting election by spouse or parent ? Please confirm. Thanks

Hi santhanam,
Members (including Associate Members), whose subscription and other dues are not in arrears up to 31st of March of the year preceding the election year, shall be eligible to vote. Thus, only eligible residents who become member/associate member of the Association by 31st March of a year shall be eligible to vote and/or contest elections, as the case may be during the next financial year.
