Corporate & board voting

AGM electronic voting Kenya — motions, quorum, and results in one sitting

A show of hands works until a resolution is contested, a shareholder can't attend in person, or the board needs a weighted, proxy-aware vote that a paper ballot can't easily represent.

Company secretaries run AGM voting on a mix of paper ballots and hand counts that don't scale past a small room, can't easily apply shareholding-weighted votes, and leave the minutes with a tally nobody can independently re-check afterward.

Proxy voting makes this worse on paper: tracking who holds a proxy for whom, and making sure that vote is counted correctly and only once, is exactly the kind of bookkeeping a spreadsheet gets wrong under time pressure.

Qura runs the vote instead: shareholders or board members vote from their phone or laptop, weighted and proxy votes are applied automatically, and the result — with its audit trail — is ready before the meeting adjourns.

Questions

Can votes be weighted by shareholding?

Yes. Voting weight can be set per shareholder or membership class, and the tally applies those weights automatically — no manual recalculation.

How does proxy voting work?

A shareholder can assign their vote to a proxy ahead of the meeting. The proxy's vote is recorded against the assigning shareholder in the audit trail, so it's traceable and can't be counted twice.

Can we see results live during the AGM?

Yes. Results for each motion stream in as votes are cast, so the board or chair can announce the outcome as soon as voting on that item closes.
