Corporations Act 2001

Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any class of shares, at a meeting of members of a company with a share capital:

on a show of hands, each member has 1 vote; and

on a poll, each member has 1 vote for each share they hold.

Unless otherwise specified in the appointment, a body corporate representative has all the powers that a body corporate has as a member (including the power to vote on a show of hands).

Each member of a company that does not have a share capital has 1 vote, both on a show of hands and a poll.

The chair has a casting vote, and also, if they are a member, any vote they have in their capacity as a member.

The chair may be precluded from voting, for example, by a conflict of interest.

For rights to appoint proxies, see section 249X.
