No. Every owner of a flat is a member even if he has two or more flats. However, refer to the terms and conditions of your society bylaws.

Generally it is "one member one vote" in a RWA.
However, consult MoA & AoA of the RWA,

Can the RWA write in its Rules and REgulations that where two families live in the same house they have single membership but two votes? Will that not be discriminatory against the other members. AS you say the general principle in a society is ONE MEMBER ONE VOTE wont this clause of giving two votes be invalid as per the Act.
