Section 321: Right to demand a poll
567.This section replaces section 373 of the 1985 Act. It restricts companies’ ability, through their articles, to exclude members’ rights to call a poll. However, it allows articles to exclude the right to a poll on the election of the chairman of the meeting and the adjournment of the meeting. The section provides for three effective types of demands for a poll, including a demand made by at least 5 members with a right to vote on the resolution.
