Share Classes & Voting Rights
Share capital, voting rights, and weighted voting.
- Creating Share ClassesHow to create share classes in Assembley — nominal value and votes per share — why votes per share must be a whole number, and how a shareholder's class turns their shares into capital and voting weight.
- How Voting Weight Is CalculatedExactly how Assembley turns a company voter's shares and class into a voting weight — the shares × votes-per-share formula, when it is computed, and why it is frozen onto each ballot.
- Share Capital vs Voting Rights ExplainedWhy Assembley keeps share capital and voting rights as two separate numbers for company voters, what each one is used for, and how keeping them distinct lets quorum and the tally both be correct.
- Understanding Share Classes and Voting RightsHow Assembley separates share capital from voting rights, how share classes set votes per share to compute voting weight, and why quorum is measured against capital while the tally uses voting rights.
