A proxy voting system enables an investor with a large number of
investments to efficiently manage and vote proxies. A shareholder enters
preferences regarding how to vote his or her proxies into a computer
system, which then screens the received proxies, automatically enters the
shareholder's preferences onto the proxy card and returns the completed
proxy card to the appropriate election authority at the proper time. The
system includes a central controller, a user interface for each investor,
a proxy server and a manual entry subsystem, which provides an interface
for those corporations that are not equipped to handle electronic
formatted proxies.
