Voting by show of hands
📚 Law Minded summary
The default method of voting at a general meeting is a show of hands — one person, one hand, regardless of shareholding.
The chairman's declaration of the result, recorded in the minutes, is conclusive proof unless a poll is demanded under section 109 or the voting is done electronically.
(1) At any general meeting, a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall, unless a poll is demanded under section 109 or the voting is carried out electronically, be decided on a show of hands.
(2) A declaration by the Chairman of the meeting of the passing of a resolution or otherwise by show of hands under sub-section (1) and an entry to that effect in the books containing the minutes of the meeting of the company shall be conclusive evidence of the fact of passing of such resolution or otherwise.
