What is the difference between voting at the AGM and voting in a postal/online ballot?
Voting on resolutions takes place at the AGM. However, the vast majority of members complete and return their voting forms by post or online. In doing this, you are appointing a representative to vote for you at the AGM. Anyone can be appointed as a representative; if you do not indicate the name of your representative on the form, then the Chairman of the meeting is automatically appointed. Your representative can be instructed how to vote on a particular resolution or he or she can be given discretion to decide how to vote.
