E-voting as per Companies Act 2013
E-VOTING AS PER COMPANIES ACT 2013
General meetings of companies are held at their registered offices and it is not
possible for every member specially a members holding minor shares to travel upto
the registered office of the company and participate in the general meeting of the
company.
To eliminate this type of difficulty and to enhance the participation of minority
members, concept of e-voting has been introduced by the Companies Act 2013. Now
a member can cast his vote easily through his laptop or tablet or PC without
physically attending the general meeting.
E-voting do not eliminate members right to physically attend and vote at the general
meeting however member can cast his vote through one mode only. A member after
casting his vote through e-voting can go and attend the general meeting but cannot
cast vote in that general meeting.
