Show of Hands
Rule 65(1) states that any resolution to be considered at a general meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded by the members present.
In other words, when a resolution is to be voted on the normal procedure is that the
chairman will, after stating the resolution, put the motion to the vote by saying
something like “would those in favour please raise their hands
”. He will then say something like “would those against now please raise their hands”.
An appointed proxy can participate in the vote on a show of hands – as can an
Attorney or corporate representative – but if 2 or more proxies have been appointed by a shareholder then neither/none of them can vote on a show of hands.
For an ordinary resolution, if the number of hands in favour is greater than those against (i.e., more than 50%) – and it may need a specific count of the hands if it is not clear – then the chairman will announce that the resolution is passed/carried.
Otherwise the motion is lost.
For a special resolution, the number of hands in favour must be at least 75% of the total number who vote (i.e., 75% of the aggregate of all hands raised) – which, again, may require a specific count – for the resolution to be passed.
Rule 67 states that in the case of an equality of votes on a show of hands the chairman has a casting vote in addition to any vote he may be entitled to himself.
Rule 65(2) states that a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has on a show of hands been carried or lost shall be taken as conclusive evidence of that fact.
Once the counting of hands is completed and the result is declared then the voting on that resolution is over – unless there is an immediate call for a poll.
