Poll

In relation to a company, a method of voting whereby each member can vote for or against a resolution.

For companies with share capital, a member has one vote for each share or each £10 of stock held. In all other cases each member has one vote (Companies Act 2006 Section 284).

Votes may be given personally or by proxy. A member may appoint more than one proxy to attend a meeting, up to a maximum of one proxy per share (Companies Act 2006 Section 324).
