Corporations Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law says that each member in a group gets one vote on decisions, unless there are special rules. If two or more people share one membership, they have to follow extra rules to vote.

Key Takeaways

•Every member gets one vote.
•If people share a membership, they must follow special rules to vote.
•Some other sections (like 12314 and 12484) might change how voting works.

Example

A club is voting on where to go for their next trip.

Each member gets one vote, so if there are 10 members, there will be 10 votes total. But if two friends share one membership, they have to decide together how to use their single vote.
