The election comes in the midst of Mr Ravi's application to expel the society's council members.
Mr Ravi is also suing the Law Society and its representative Wong Siew Hong for defamation.
The lawsuit follows Mr Wong's appearance in the High Court in July on three occasions to present a letter allegedly written by Mr Ravi's psychiatrist, stating he was unfit to practise.
This has been refuted by Mr Ravi's psychiatrist.
On Oct 11, Mr Louis Joseph, who represents Mr Ravi in this case, said his client's psychiatrist Dr Munidasa Winslow has certified him fit to practise law.
The clash also triggered a demand for an Extraordinary General Meeting last month, from 51 members of the society to shed light on the issue.
But at that time, a spokesperson for the 51 members said the meeting failed to answer their questions.
Some members have indicated that they may file another motion to censure the society's committee.
After the meeting, Law Society president Wong Meng Meng said Mr Wong had acted on his own accord and had not been authorised by the society.
But according to Mr Wong's defence papers submitted in late August, he said the Supreme Court Registry had informed him of Mr Ravi's court schedule.
Subsequently, he spoke to Mr Wong Meng Meng who allegedly "expressed the view" that it would be all right to attend the hearing as "a courtesy to the court".
