When to use it
- The yearly meeting has to approve the accounts and decide what to do with the result.
- New members have been proposed and their admission is voted at the meeting.
- Members are spread out and not all can come to the premises on the day.
What's inside and why
- One vote per member
- Each member votes once with their ballot; if your rules weight votes, paste the roll with each weight.
- The use of the result, with clear alternatives
- Reserve fund, return to members or a share to each, plus abstaining.
- Admissions on record
- Admitting new members is its own agenda item, with its result in the minutes.
Tips to get the most out of it
- Adjust the options for the result to what your statutes and the co-operative rules that apply to you allow.
- Send the notice with the accounts attached or linked before opening the vote.
- Keep the minutes at the end: they carry each item's count and the turnout.
