Publication of voting rights, in the financial markets, is a set of legal and, constitutional protections designed and implemented, to ensure that the opportunity is given to the investors, or clients to vote in company meetings including the annual general meetings (AGM) or other extra ordinary general meetings, where votes are required. The right to vote is an essential element in Markets Compliance regulations.

Publication Of Voting Rights

Publication Of Voting Rights

Shareholders are both partners with voting rights, who can take part in collective decisions concerning the company, and owners of equity securities, who are entitled to profit from selling them on. The rights and obligations of shareholders, are to identify legal avenues for achieving a fair balance to create value overall, both for the shareholders holding these rights; and for the company towards which the shareholder has obligations.

Common stock ownership carries the voting rights, but the nature of the rights, and the specific issues shareholders are entitled to vote on may vary considerably from company to company. An efficient corporate governance system needs to be introduced to counter these two attitudes, which not only destroy value but also do great harm to the image of the business ecosystem as a whole.

Shareholders Rights And Obligations

Voting rights of the shareholders may be confidential information, which may not be disclosed, as per the locally applicable regulations, therefore the companies are required to ensure that the publication of voting rights is not prohibited. 

How You Can Make Your Voice Heard

You can still vote if you are under the age of 18, or if you are not a US citizen. You may not be able to enter a voting booth, but there are other ways to participate:

  • Keep up to date! Learn about current political issues (both local and national) and decide where you stand.
  • Get out there and meet new people. Even if you are unable to vote, you can express yourself on social media, in your school or local newspaper, or in other public forums. You never know who’s listening.
  • Volunteer. You can help a candidate’s campaign by participating in phone banks, doing door-to-door outreach, writing postcards, or volunteering at campaign headquarters. Even if you are unable to vote, your work can help candidates get elected.

One of the most important liberties in American life is the right to vote. Many people around the world do not have the same freedom that many Americans did centuries ago. It is critical to exercise your rights, regardless of what you believe or who you support.

Final Thoughts

We believe that the majority of people genuinely care about their surroundings and want to make a difference. We believe that every company has a responsibility to assist their employees in exercising their fundamental democratic right. We are all affected by issues such as racial justice, the environment, education, healthcare, reproductive rights, and earning a living wage. With all of today’s challenges, it may be tempting to ask, «Why bother voting at all?» «But that is precisely what those bent on voter suppression hope for.» Democracy literally dies there. One ballot at a time.

We believe that the real question for voters should be, «What do you care about enough to get out and vote?» » «What good can come from not exercising your right to vote? «We all play a role in shaping the world we live in, and our voices are important.» Vote. For you, your family, your community, and your country.
