Online Voting for AGMs & Shareholder Resolutions.
Put ordinary and special resolutions and director elections to every shareholder online, with each vote weighted by shares held and proxies counted at their weight. Shareholders vote before the meeting, during it, or both, and the result is calculated the moment voting closes. The same system runs board ballots, staff elections and member votes for co-operatives and non-profit companies.
Every Resolution on the Agenda
From the annual financial statements to a single special resolution, every shareholder gets a vote they can cast from wherever they are.
Ordinary & Special Resolutions
Financial statements, auditors, remuneration, amendments to the memorandum of incorporation and every resolution on the notice.
Director Elections
Elections and rotations of directors, put to shareholders alongside the rest of the agenda.
Co-operatives & NPCs
Member votes for co-operatives and non-profit companies, one member one vote or weighted as your rules require.
Board & Staff Ballots
Board resolutions, staff representative elections and employee referendums, each with its own roll and ballot.
Built in the Toughest Election There Is
WEVS was built and proven in university elections, where thousands of voters arrive in the same few minutes and every step is scrutinised. A company AGM runs on exactly the same system, with shareholder weights and proxies built in. Seven years of consecutive institutional elections, 30+ major elections, more than 200 000 ballots cast and counted, a record 64.56% turnout across a multi-campus university and 74% on a single campus, 88% voter satisfaction across more than 14 000 student ratings, the first live election results at a South African university, and zero contested outcomes.
Our Own System
We didn’t license a voting platform — we wrote one, we run it on our own infrastructure, and the people who answer your call on voting day are the people who built it.
Built for the Rush
When thousands of voters arrive at once, nobody sees an error page: they are queued politely and brought through in turn. Load-tested at 5,000 voters completing a ten-portfolio ballot in 91 seconds.
Weighted Votes & Proxies
One member one vote, or votes weighted by participation quota, shareholding or any rule your constitution sets — with proxies captured and counted at the right weight.
Audit-Ready, South African Data
An append-only audit log records the election as it happens. The system and its data are hosted in South Africa on infrastructure we run, and destroyed with a certificate after the result.
How a Shareholder Vote Runs
We prepare the roll from your securities register, issue every shareholder their voting code, support them through the vote, and hand the weighted result to the chairperson.
Voters’ Roll
We prepare the roll from your register — students, members, owners or shareholders — with each voter’s constituency and, where your rules weight votes, their weight.
Nominations & Notices
Candidates nominate and gather seconders online, resolutions are published with their supporting documents, and every voter receives their own single-use voting code.
Online Voting, Anywhere
Voters vote in the browser on any phone, tablet or laptop, wherever they are in the world, with nothing to install. Proxies vote with the weight they carry.
A Live Help Desk
Our team supports voters throughout polling, and voters on the roll can get their voting link on WhatsApp in seconds.
Counting & Results
Every ballot is saved the moment it is cast and counted automatically, with weights applied. Results go to your returning officer or chairperson for declaration.
Audit & Data Destruction
We prepare everything an independent auditor needs. After the result, election data is destroyed and you receive a Data Destruction Certificate.
AGM & Shareholder Voting: Frequently Asked Questions
Can votes be weighted by shareholding?
Yes. Each shareholder's vote carries the weight of the shares they hold, and the weights are applied automatically when the votes are counted.
Can shareholders vote by proxy?
Yes. Proxies are captured before the vote, and a proxy votes with the weight of the shareholder they represent.
Can voting happen before the meeting as well as during it?
Yes. The voting window can open before the AGM, run during it, or both, so shareholders who cannot attend still vote.
Can you run director elections?
Yes. Director elections and rotations can be put to shareholders alongside the other resolutions on the agenda.
Can we use it for staff and board ballots too?
Yes. The same system runs board resolutions, staff representative elections and member referendums, each with its own roll.
Where is the data stored?
The voting system and its database are hosted in South Africa on infrastructure Wolfatek runs, and voting data is destroyed with a certificate after the result.
