Each shareholder holding a voting share has a right to vote in the companies decisions. Under a cumulative voting system, each shareholder has the right to cast a vote according to a total number of shares. The shareholder has the total liberty of voting in favor of one decision or split them in any proportion as he thinks fit.
Assume a company is appointing three directors; director marketing, director operations and director sales with each position having three candidates. A shareholder who has 500 shares can now choose to cast 500 votes in any proportion. He can opt for casting 500 votes in favor of any one of three positions or split his votes in all three or two in any proportion. Let’s say he casts 200 votes for candidate X for a director sales position, 120 votes for candidate Y for director marketing position, and the rest for candidate Z for director operations positions.
