Who is responsible for counting the proxy votes? I presume the proxy papers will be verified by an independent body to ensure they are all in order as it would not seem proper if those counting the votes were the same people who were being voted on. There must be accountability and transpaency in the process otherwise we'll end up with some bizarre rubber stamping exercise.

Democracy? From the same people who make decisions affecting shareholders and don't tell them? And who co-opt a load of people onto the board three weeks before the AGM expecting that apathy or ignorance will see them alright?

Normally this task falls to the Company Accountants but the meeting can appoint tellers from amongst those shareholders present.

I have had it confirmed by D H that any proxy forms sent by e mail must be signed & returned by post. a scanned copy sent back by e mail will not be valid.

But could my secretary sign it p.p.? If so then surely you can sign on behalf of your sons?

Apparently not. It has to be signed by the shareholder & recieved in hard copy bearing that signature.

I am glad to see that this has been resolved before I got to post I was very concerned people were being mislead that they could scan forms or email.
I am still concerned that the proxy votes will be logged correctly and used correctly. I do urge anyone who us using a proxy to appoint anyone other than the chairman. Keep a copy of your from too.
I dont trust any of the sitting directors, having been lied to on numerous occasions I wonder why!!!!
