14. If two or more associations seek recognition for the same territory and the membership of one of them comprises an absolute majority of the home educational childcare providers operating in the territory, the Tribunal grants recognition to that association provided it meets the other conditions set out in this Act.
If none of the associations meet the requirements of the first paragraph, but at least one of them has a membership comprising between 35% and 50% of the home educational childcare providers operating in the territory, the Tribunal holds a secret ballot to determine the extent to which the associations are representative.
Only the association or associations whose membership comprises at least 35% of the home educational childcare providers operating in the territory and the association recognized for the territory, if any, are to appear on the ballot. The Tribunal grants recognition to the association that obtains the most votes provided the home educational childcare providers who participated in the vote constitute an absolute majority of the home educational childcare providers operating in the territory and the other conditions set out in this Act are met.
