- As per the Societies Act, a proper procedure has been laid down for conducting elections to appoint a managing committee , and must start the election process about two months before the end of the existing managing committee’s term.
- The committee is also expected to compile a list of members who are eligible to vote, which needs to be put up on the notice board 60 days before the election.
- Further , the managing committee has to appoint a returning officer to oversee the election , and the election programme has to be put up on the notice board and a copy submitted to the registrar.
- Hence, it is mandatory to get approval from the Registrar , but the new committee can start to function after submitting the necessary documents .
