The right to vote attaches to membership and not shareholding.
Except as provided in subsections (3) and (4), each member has only one vote at a meeting of the co‑operative.
If its rules so provide, a member of a co‑operative group may have the number of votes (up to 5) at a general meeting that is specified in the rules.
If the rules so provide, the chairperson has a casting vote at a board meeting or general meeting.
In the case of joint membership —
the joint members have only one vote between them; and
that vote may be exercised, subject to the grant of a proxy or power of attorney, only by the joint member determined in accordance with the rules.
