How to vote in your AGM

Vote in advance 

Voting ahead of the AGM has now closed.

Vote at the meeting

If you've registered to attend the meeting in person or virtually, you can vote on the resolutions on the day via the CES Join-In platform. Information about using this platform will be available ahead of, and during the meeting for all registered attendees.

To vote in person, you'll need to bring a smartphone with you to join the secure voting platform. Handheld devices are no longer in use. Further information is available in your AGM booklet,

Members who have registered to attend the AGM will be contacted by Civica Election Services in late October to confirm if you’ve been allocated a place and/or how to join the meeting online.

Different types of vote

There are three different types of vote you can choose from to have your say.

• Specified vote

This is where you specify how you want your vote to be cast by your proxy (the Chair of the AGM) and they act as your representative and vote as directed by you. You can do this by selecting 'for', 'against' or 'abstain' for the individual resolutions and by selecting your preferred election candidates.

• Quick vote

To cast your vote in support of the Board of Trustees' position on all resolutions, and/or recommended election candidates/candidate bodies, you can use the quick vote option. Quick vote is a type of specified vote.

• Discretionary vote

You can cast a discretionary vote for the resolutions, but not in the elections. This means you're directing the proxy (the Chair of the AGM) to vote on the resolutions as they see fit. You can do this by selecting the 'discretionary' box.
