CHAPTER 2 - ORGANIZATION OF BANKS
13-2-307. Voting by shareholders generally; balloting for directors.


WY Stat § 13-2-307 (through 2012) What's This?

(a) Each share entitles the owner to one (1) vote on all elections of directors and all other questions submitted at meetings of shareholders. Shareholders may vote by proxies executed in writing but no officer, clerk, teller or bookkeeper of the bank shall act as proxy. The presence in person or by proxy of the owners of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock at any meeting of stockholders constitutes a quorum. No shareholder whose liability to the bank is past due and unpaid shall be allowed to vote.

(b) In balloting for directors each qualified shareholder may vote the number of shares owned by him for as many directors as are to be elected or may cumulate his votes by giving one (1) candidate the number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of his shares and he may distribute his votes cumulatively on the same principle among any number of candidates. The persons having the highest number of votes shall be declared elected as the board of directors for the ensuing corporate year.
