Answer 1

Four ways in which voting can take place in a company meeting are:
By Ballot:
Under this method, ballot papers are distributed to every member who is entitled to vote. They records his vote on the ballot paper and puts it in the ballot box. The result is declared by the chairman after the votes are counted by impartial persons.

By Division:
Under this method, the members who are in favor of the motion forms one block and those who against it form other block. The chairman appoints two tellers who, on counting the number of each block, communicate the numbers and then announces the result. 

Voting by Poll:
Under this method, the voting right of each member is entitled to cast votes in proportion to the number of shares held by him. A separate poll is required for each resolution to be passed at the meeting.

By Voice-Notes:
Under this method, the chairman requests the member who are in favor of the issue say Yes’ and who are against the issue say ‘No’. On the basis of the volume of voices, the chairman announces the verdict.
