Creating voting matters

Before you begin​

  • You need Editor access.
  • You need an existing meeting to attach the voting matter to. See Create a Meeting.

Steps​

Add voting matter

  1. Navigate to the meeting page.

  2. Click + Add Voting Matter.

  3. Fill in details of the voting matter.

  4. Click Create Voting Matter.

Custom vote options​

By default, every voting matter is a simple For / Against / Abstain vote. Turn on Custom Vote Options when you need custom options - for example, three competing remuneration figures, or a list of candidates.

Create complex vote

They will be created as separate voting matters, each with its own tab in the Voting Dashboard:

They will be displayed on the proxy nomination form as separate resolutions grouped under the same heading:

Mutually exclusive​

If the mutually exclusive option is enabled, a creditor can only vote for one option. Voting For one option automatically votes Against all other options.

tip

Not sure? If only one option should win, leave Mutually Exclusive On. If creditors should vote on each option independently, turn it Off.
