Read this, from a year ago - I doubt if the reforms have been put in place, certainly I haven't heard of anything.

Here are some interesting bits --

"Significant problems with voting occur at 55 per cent of all meetings operated by transfer agent Computershare Ltd., according to senior manager of market development Bill Brolly. One in five corporate meetings has problems with “overvoting,” which occurs when more shares are cast than there are votes outstanding."

"In cases of overvoting, the typical solution is either to cut off counting when shares equal to the outstanding float are received – so any that come in above that number are not counted – or else prorate the vote to reduce the overall tally to the number of shares outstanding.

That means some shareholders who voted correctly do not see their full vote counted, while some who voted in error still get to have their votes used."

"--a chairman can have a conflict of interest, however, when the company prefers a particular voting result to occur, and shareholders have no recourse to challenge a decision except to launch a court challenge.

Participants said the practice of institutions lending out their shares – typically to other investors using them for short-selling – causes many of the problems related to overvoting because confusion can lead to lenders and borrowers both voting the shares."

So the fun might not be over with the voting at the meeting
