A related ethical issue involves the way votes are tabulated in director elections.
Historically, director elections have been based on the concept of plurality voting.
This means that nominees receiving the most votes win the elections even if they
do not receive a majority of “yes” votes. While this sounds reasonable, a nominee
could win a position even if a majority of shareholders “withheld” their votes from
the nominee. That is because in most cases, if nine slots are available, only nine people
are nominated because of the difficulty shareholders have in nominating people
for director positions. Therefore, plurality voting makes “withheld” votes largely
symbolic. This is an ethical problem as directors could be elected even though a
majority of shareholders oppose the nominee.
