    INVESTORS who are unable to attend shareholder meetings may soon be able to do so when a game-changing electronic voting system goes live nationwide following a trial that is taking place now.

    The Business Times (BT) understands that a proof-of-concept (PoC) on e-Voting using distributed ledger technology (DLT) will be tested in the Asia-Pacific this year. DLT is a digital system where the record of transactions of assets is maintained across multiple places at the same time.
