Voting at general meetings can be done in two different ways. Many resolutions are decided by a show of hands. This will give each shareholder one vote, regardless of the number of shares held. It is a useful practice for the passing of routine resolutions where there is no (or very little) opposition, but does not reflect the actual voting strength of individual shareholders. For this to be done, there is aprovision of poll, by which the actual votes owned by each shareholder voting are counted.
