What is a proxy vote?

A proxy vote is a way for shareholders to cast their votes in corporate law without attending the actual meeting. In Nebraska, proxy voting allows shareholders to give another person the power to vote in their place. This is often done when a shareholder cannot attend the meeting or wants someone else to vote on their behalf. For example, if a shareholder lives out of state and cannot attend a shareholder meeting, they can give someone else a “proxy” to vote in their place. That proxy may be a family member, a lawyer, or even a proxy voting service. The proxy holder must then vote according to the instructions that the shareholder gave them. Proxy voting is important to corporate law in Nebraska because it allows shareholders to express their opinion and have their interests heard. It also prevents shareholders from being disenfranchised if they cannot attend the meeting. By allowing proxy voting, Nebraska’s corporate law ensures that all shareholders’ voices are heard.
