§ 618. Cumulative voting.

The certificate of incorporation of any corporation may provide that

in all elections of directors of such corporation each shareholder shall

except for such provisions as to cumulative voting, he would be entitled

to cast for the election of directors with respect to his shares

multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and that he may

cast all of such votes for a single director or may distribute them

among the number to be voted for, or any two or more of them, as he may

see fit, which right, when exercised, shall be termed cumulative voting.
