Straight Voting

    0.01 sec.
Straight voting
Allows shareholder to cast all of the shareholder's votes for each candidate for the Board of Directors.

Straight Voting
The act of using all of one's shares to vote for the same way. Most of the time, a shareholder in a publicly-traded company has one vote per share. The shareholder can divide these votes at his/her/its discretion. For example, a shareholder may wish to vote for candidate A for the board of directors with 60% of shares and for candidate B with the remaining 40%. In straight voting, however, the shareholder may vote for candidate A with 100% of shares.
