the term scrutineer which you may come across is used exclusively for political election voting as far as I know (poling clerk) so won\'t work

that should be polling clerk (term also not applicable)

you could also consider vote tallier - again it comes up mostly in the political context although there are plenty of references to the chairman reading out results of the shareholder vote tally at an AGM

many thanks for your quick response. I've taken your simpler suggestion of vote counter. This seems to appear more frequently in GB English which I'm using.

For general meetings of shareholders the three above are frequently used with the first and second being the most common.
