"The Co-operative Group decided last year to introduce for
the first time the use of electronic voting at General Meetings.
IML helped ensure that this transition ran professionally and
smoothly - we were particularly pleased with how they took on board
our complex voting system which includes both non-voting and
block-voting delegates. The handsets were easy to use and feedback
from both our colleagues and delegates has been positive. Everyone
we dealt with at IML was extremely helpful and
we will consequently be calling upon their services for future
General Meetings."

How it works:
REGISTRATION
Attendees are registered quickly and efficiently, thereby
removing long queues. At a recent, high-profile event, 2500
shareholders were registered without delays, with an average
registration time per shareholder of under 20 seconds.
All types of attendees (shareholders, corporate representatives,
proxies, guests and press are registered on arrival. Once delegates
have registered, they are issued with a Smartcard, which, when
inserted into a keypad, will assign them their correct voting
rights based on the size and class of their holding.
ELECTRONIC POLLS
Registration and voting can run simultaneously at a number of
locations. A poll is conducted on every resolution with keypad
screens confirming votes have been cast. Split voting can be
performed live while a vote is taking place and amended resolutions
can be added instantaneously.
VOTE MONITOR
A live information monitor for the Chairman, Secretary and
Scrutineer displays up-to-date information, including details of
all attendees and proxy vote status. Potential swing as a result of
live votes cast can be viewed prior to the event and a results
summary allows vote status to be previewed before the poll is
closed.
REPORTS
Reports can be produced within minutes allowing results to be
released to the stock exchange without delay. A full audit trail
and scrutineers report are created together with results by
resolution, meeting attendees, votes by attendee and overridden
proxy votes.
