Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies voting rights within cooperative housing societies, particularly for members owning multiple flats. It confirms that membership and voting rights are typically limited to one per person, regardless of the number of flats owned. Society dues for multiple flats are generally treated separately. While defaulters can attend and vote in general body meetings, they are usually not eligible for election, though specific rules may vary by society bylaws and state laws.

1. Yes. only one member even he holds more than one. 2. only one. 3. separately. 4. For defaulters, it will be mentioned in the society bylaws and must follow the same. 5. He is a defaulter but he can vote in the General Body meeting. But he will not be elected. However, verify your society bylaw and follow the same.
