Cumulative voting allows shareholders to cast multiple votes per share for each director position. The number of votes a shareholder can cast is calculated by multiplying the number of shares held by the number of directors to be elected. For example, a shareholder with 100 shares, where 5 directors are being elected, would have 100 x 5 = 500 total votes to distribute among candidates as they choose.
