Paving the way for the widespread use of electronic voting
While local regulations allow for it and it is a widely used practice internationally electronic voting has not become an established market practice in Hungary. Given the fact that foreign institutional investors hold significant proportions of local, stock exchange listed securities the possibility of remotely exercising shareholder rights for them is of particular importance.
The experience from the current health crisis and regulatory measures taken to address the inability to physically participate in the GMs has clearly demonstrated the need for the use of digital technology. Tested solutions are available internationally and majority of stakeholders of the local capital market agree on the importance of digital solutions. What actions would be needed from issuers, regulators or the infrastructure to establish the missing market practices.
