Streamline the voting process

Shareholder attendance cards are scanned on arrival, simplifying and speeding up the registration process. Corporate representatives, proxies, guests, and press are also registered and their details added to the meeting database, allowing them to be tracked via the vote monitor and affording greater transparency.

A Smartcard is issued to the shareholder containing a reference number, which is linked with their voting rights. No confidential shareholder information is stored on the card so if lost it can be easily cancelled and replaced.

With the Smartcard inserted into the voting device, the shareholder is able to vote. Unlike a show of hands, the vote is instantly recorded, improving shareholder perception through efficient use of modern technology, meaning the result is almost instantly available and fully auditable. A message on the voting device screen confirms that a vote has been cast. Split votes can also be actioned while a vote is taking place.
