Voting Stock

Voting Stock - A Voting Stock is a stock that comes with voting rights to the holder of this stock. With this voting right, a shareholder can have influence on important matters that involves the company. He or she can also vote for members of the board, and other very important issues. The opposite of Voting Stock is Non-Voting Stock. People who are holders of a nonvoting stock are not allowed to vote on important matters involving the company of which they are share holders. They do not have voting rights, so the influence of people holding a voting stock is bigger than the influence of people with a nonvoting stock.
