Membership held by two or more persons as joint tenants or as in common may be voted at any meeting of the members by any one of the persons, unless another joint tenant or tenant seeks to vote the membership in person or by proxy. In the latter event, the written agreement, if any, which governs the manner in which the membership shall be voted, shall control if presented at the meeting.
