N.Y. Not-for-Profit Corporation Law § 617: Cumulative voting

§ 617. Cumulative voting.

The certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of any corporation may

provide that in all elections of directors of such corporation each

member shall be entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of

votes which, except for such provisions as to cumulative voting, he

would be entitled to cast for the election of directors 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 for any two or more of them, as he may see fit, which

right, when exercised, shall be termed cumulative voting.
