Strata meetings are an essential part of managing a strata property. They provide owners and strata managers with an opportunity to discuss and make decisions on various matters affecting the strata property. However, traditional in-person meetings can be difficult to schedule and attend, especially if owners have busy schedules or live far away. Fortunately, online voting for strata meetings is possible from the Owners Portal.

The first step is to configure online voting for your agency. Log into Strata Master and navigate to Configure > Agency > Option #3. (You will need administrator permissions in Strata Master)
