§ 7153 Corporate Voting By Groupings

Key Takeaways

  • •A company can let its members vote in groups, like by location or department.
  • •The rules for how these groups vote must be written in the company's official rules.
  • •This helps big companies make decisions without everyone voting all at once.

Example

A big store chain with locations in different cities wants to decide on a new policy.

Instead of every single worker voting, the company can let each store location vote as a group. The rules for how this works must be written in the company's official rules.
