Zusammenfassung:A system and method for an electronic public forum to facilitate solicitation support of shareholder initiatives (e.g., for inclusion on an annual ballot or for a special vote, for instance). The public forum may be a web site provided as a service that permits individual stakeholders to view positions of third party entities such as activist non-profits, corporation, and individuals associated with issues related to a company's annual shareholder ballots, for example. Third parties may post general information regarding corporate issues and/or sample ballots on the web site with rationale for their positions. An individual stakeholder may use the proffered sample ballot during voting of their shares. In this way, individuals may align their votes with a particular cause of a third party. Moreover, real time results of any voting may be displayed.
