Demand for poll enables qualifying members to require a poll whose result governs the resolution outcome. Demand for poll may be ordered by the Chairman or on a valid member demand; availability differs between companies with share capital and other companies based on prescribed voting thresholds. Demands may be withdrawn. Polls for adjournment or chair appointment are taken immediately; other polls are taken at the Chairman's direction within the statutory limit. The Chairman appoints scrutineers, may regulate the poll process as prescribed, and the poll result is deemed the meeting's decision on the resolution.
