(Shareholder) Voting Ballot

It is the piece of paper ie the ballot on which the vote is made. They have to be recorded or filed way in Brazil. They actually keep all the manifectações de voto.

That is the meaning. Pode crer. :)

thanks,kind of reassuring to know you disagree
disagree Valdelicio Silva : "Show of hands" is a type of voting, sometimes also "voting by acclamation" which either way is not what in Portuguese referes to "manifestacao de voto."
