Buenos días:
estoy traduciendo unos estatutos de una empresa y normalmente hablan de "votes" o "voting", pero en ocasiones usan "poll".
Entiendo que las dos se refieren a votaciones, pero ¿cuál sería la diferencia? Unos serían en papel? ¿Unos serían votos escritos?
Gracias de antemano

where all the issued shares of the class are held by one person, the necessary quorum shall be one person and such holder of shares of the class present in person or by proxy or by attorney may demand a ******poll******.

At any General Meeting a resolution put to the vote of the Meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a *****poll***** has been (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded:

For avoidance of doubt, in the case of equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the Chairman of the Meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the *****poll***** is demanded shall be entitled to a second or casting vote.

On a *****poll***** votes may be given either personally or by proxy or by attorney or in the case of a corporation by its representative and a person entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way
