Use of written ballots

1. Unless otherwise prohibited by the articles of incorporation or bylaws of a worker cooperative, the board of directors of the worker cooperative may authorize the distribution of a written ballot to every member entitled to vote at a meeting. 2. A ballot distributed pursuant to subsection 1 must: (a) Set forth any proposed action to be taken at the meeting; (b) Provide an opportunity for the member to approve or disapprove of any action; and (c) State that unless the ballot is revoked by a member, the ballot will be counted if received by the worker cooperative on or before the time of the meeting. 3. A ballot may be revoked by a member pursuant to subsection 2 by the physical appearance and casting of a vote of the member at the meeting. 4. For the purposes of the subject matter of a written ballot, an unrevoked ballot is equivalent to the physical presence of a member at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. 5. If cumulative voting is permitted by the articles of incorporation or bylaws of a worker cooperative and the distribution of ballots is not prohibited pursuant to subsection 1, a ballot may be distributed for the election of a director.
