Founding framework in developmentNo provision in this chapter has been adopted
Plain-language summary
Those entitled to vote must decide for themselves. The mechanism for voting has not been adopted, so nothing here states how many people vote, how ballots are counted, or how a result is reached.
Plain-language summaries are provided for clarity. Where an approved formal rule exists, that formal rule governs in the event of any inconsistency.
Institutional principles
Eligible voters must exercise independent judgment.
Voting must not be sold, traded, improperly delegated, conditioned on reciprocal voting, or directed by sponsors or by Film & Stage commercial divisions.
Ballots, unannounced nominations and unannounced recipients are confidential until authorised release.
