201E  Special rules for the appointment of public company directors

 (1) A resolution passed at a general meeting of a public company appointing or confirming the appointment of 2 or more directors is void unless:
 (a) the meeting has resolved that the appointments or confirmations may be voted on together; and
 (b) no votes were cast against the resolution.

 (2) This section does not affect:
 (a) a resolution to appoint directors by an amendment to the company's constitution (if any); or
 (b) a ballot or poll to elect 2 or more directors if the ballot or poll does not require members voting for 1 candidate to vote for another candidate.
