Voting procedure for election of members.

We have an AGM coming up. There are nine seats on the Committee, but likely there will be more than nine candidates. If this happens, is there a standard or legislated mechanism for counting the vote? Is it first-past the-post, preferential voting, Hare-Clark, what? I would have thought something simple, like ‘Person with the most votes gets a seat, person with next most votes gets a seat, etc.’ until all seats are filled. Can someone help?
