It can be said that when a poll is entitled and some listed      companies have altered their articles, and abolished voting by a show of      hands completely; in that case, the <strong>full power of the shareholders<\/strong> can get felt only.<\/li><li>The concluding result reflects the voting preferences of all      shareholders who have boarded a <strong>proxy vote<\/strong>, not just those who attend the AGM. Therefore a poll vote is measured to be more democratic comparatively. Conversely, this process can involve at the AGM and mean in a lengthier way.<\/li><li>The UK Shareholders Association has found otherwise, whereas PIRC      and other proxy voting agencies contemplated poll voting to be the most <strong>suitable way for registered companies<\/strong> to undertake business at <strong>general meetings<\/strong>.<\/li><li>It appears that one of the few ways that private shareholders      attending the AGM can have an influence on the board when the private shareholders wish to preserve voting by a show of hands.&nbsp;<\/li><li>If there is a consensus voting by a show of hands, then it is <strong>easier and more open on a practical level at the AGM<\/strong>. Regardless of how many shares they hold, each shareholder existing in person or by proxy has one vote. <\/li><li>After AGM, the result of the AGM can be announced straightforwardly.      On the other hand, the <strong>Chairman must be prepared to call a poll<\/strong> and the Company Secretary should include this procedure within the <strong>Chairman\u2019s script<\/strong> if there is opposition to a proposal or a shareholder demands a poll.<\/li><li>Based on the company\u2019s circumstances and its shareholder base, each      company needs to determine the method to be used.<\/li><li>The Notice of AGM should explain the reasons if companies move to      vote on a poll and set out that voting will be held by-poll which will      also need to be reproduced in the Chairman\u2019s lettering. <strong>Counting &amp; checking<\/strong> against proxy forms lodged against the <strong>register of members<\/strong>, <strong>preparing a report<\/strong> and <strong>final certificate<\/strong> of the result of the poll is indispensable. It is because the Liaison with your      company\u2019s registrars will be key fundamentals as they will be responsible for issuing poll cards. To ensure the proper equipment is brought to the AGM to conduct the poll, you must highlight this in advance.<\/li><li>The consequences of the AGM must be announced via an <strong>RNS announcement<\/strong> as soon as possible following the conclusion of the AGM from whichever process is used. It must be showed on the company\u2019s website and <strong>uploaded to the National Storage Mechanism<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Similarly, remember that the company should enlighten when      announcing the results of voting what actions it intends to take to      understand the reasons behind the result if there is an important <strong>proportion of votes cast<\/strong> against a resolution (measured to be about <strong>20% or more<\/strong>).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
