Poll

A Poll is a formal vote at General Meeting requested by at least two members.

During a poll, each member votes once and their vote counts for each interest group they belong to. When a Special Resolution is called, this creates a voting system where the results is determined on a ‘one interest-group, one-vote’ basis. Each member’s vote counts towards the result of the shareholder groups to which they belong.

For example, a person who is a founder shareholder would vote once and have their opinion registered only within the Founder Shareholders interest group (unless they subsequently acquired another class of shares).

A person who joined the organisation as a labour shareholder, and who has acquired Investor Shares, would vote once. Their vote would count towards the result for [[Labour Shareholders] and Investor Shareholders.
