| Research Summary: The issue of using the Internet by shareholders has become an undeniable reality. Despite the negatives that this technology may face in its implementation, its uses have many positive characteristics, especially in the case of shareholders who are not present at the meeting. In this research, I have discussed the nature and advantages of electronic voting, which includes all types of voting, including electronic means of voting and casting votes, and electronic means of sorting them. It also addressed the conditions that must be met for electronic voting, and its role in joint-stock companies, by setting controls that ensure facilitation for investors and achieve the speed of completing their transactions and organizing work procedures in holding general assemblies of joint-stock companies in light of the development of modern electronic systems and stipulating the permissibility of using them to display items on the agenda of the company’s general assembly meeting and voting. The research reached a set of results, the most important of which are: Electronic voting contributed to the effectiveness of general assemblies and their essential role in managing the company, as this system enables overcoming the phenomenon of the absence of shareholders and the phenomenon of the huge number of shareholders in joint-stock companies. Electronic voting will also lead to changing and updating the mechanisms of practicing the company’s business to operate with information technology tools, and to reach the highest possible level of accuracy in its mechanisms, in addition to moving it towards direct democratic practice without an intermediary as much as possible, to be a research of a political revolution made by information technology under an effective information security system. | ||||
