Shareholders send in a card (called a proxy card) on which they mark their vote. The card authorizes a proxy agent to vote the shareholder's stock as directed on the card. The proxy card may specify how shares are to be voted or may simply give the proxy agent discretion to decide how the shares are to be voted.
A proxy statement is most relevant for shareholders preparing for a company's special or annual meeting in order to get information on how they should vote, in-person or via a proxy. As a shareholder, investors have the right to express their voice on the company and its direction via votes, often one vote per share.
Rather than physically attending the shareholder meeting, investors may elect someone else, such as a member of the company's management team, to vote in their place. This person is designated as a proxy and will cast a proxy vote in line with the shareholder's directions as written on their proxy card.
About once every year, for most companies, you will have the right to vote your shares on a variety of topics related to the companies you own in your portfolio. These are called proxy votes. Regular individual shareholders generally receive one vote per share owned.
Shareholders can vote their proxies via mail, internet, phone, or by attending the annual meeting in person. Voting instructions are provided on the proxy and votes can be changed as long as they meet the stated deadlines (usually 24 hours before the meeting for U.S. companies).
Broker Vote For certain routine matters to be voted upon at shareholder meetings, if you don't vote by proxy or at the meeting in person, brokers may vote on your behalf at their discretion. These votes may also be called uninstructed or discretionary broker votes.
If you are unable to attend a meeting but would like your vote to be presented, you can select someone to cast your vote on your behalf via proxy voting at a strata meeting. A proxy is a person who represents a voter at a general meeting.
If you're unable to vote in person you can ask someone to vote on your behalf. This is called a proxy vote.
A Proxy Vote is a delegation of voting authority to a representative on behalf of the original vote-holder. The party who receives the authority to vote is known as the Proxy and the original vote-holder is known as the Principal.
Under California's Nonprofit Corporation Law, voting from a remote location (via phone or virtual meeting) is generally permissible. However, voting by proxy is not. The Corporations Code explicitly prohibits members of a nonprofit's board of directors from voting by proxy.
