Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention relates to electronic voting methods and systems that help simplify the management of institutional proxies. In one example, the methods and systems manage the process of meeting notifications, voting, tracking, mailing, reporting, record maintenance and/or vote disclosure rules enacted by the SEC. In one specific example, this is done for thousands of publicly traded securities custodied at various banks, brokers and global custodians. In another example, a system (and corresponding method) is provided for integrating, organizing and displaying (e.g., via a website) information in a language of preference for each user of the system. The information comprises meeting, agenda and/or ballot information and the users of the system/method is voting entities empowered to cast votes via the system.
