Regarding voting in Housing society election

Sir, In our registered Housing association ( Registered under Karnataka Apartment Ownership Act, 1972) , our registered Deed of Declaration states that " Each apartment holder or share holder whether joint owners or otherwise, will have the right of one vote for each apartment " . Election is conducted for 9 member board. However, in the election, our Election committee is allowing each voter to vote up to 9 candidates. ( That is, in One Ballot paper voter can mark up to 9 contestants) Is that legal? I have objected to that saying each voter can vote for only one candidate as per our registered Deed of Declaration. Kindly provide legal opinion on this.
