摘要

2020年我國遭遇新冠肺炎威脅，上市、上櫃公司召開股東會是否會發生股東群聚感染的問題油然而生，為避免股東參加股東會導致因人群聚集造成防疫破口，主管機關與台灣集中保管結算所持續呼籲及宣導股東採用電子投票，筆者藉此進而探討股東會電子投票制度是否可有再精進之處。
本文以公司治理之探討作為開頭並帶出股東行動主義為公司治理實踐方式之一，進而說明股東行動主義和股東會之關係，再從股東會之召集需收集委託書為因，簡介我國目前股東會委託書之功能和相關規範，接著介紹股東會電子投票制度之由來及其規則，探討股東會電子投票制度可再精進之方式，並引申簡述股東會電子投票和視訊股東會之關係。
基於上述分析結果，本文認為目前我國股東會股權之收集仍以徵求委託書為主，股東使用股東會電子投票之推廣仍需科技技術持續進步作為後盾，但上市、上櫃公司可在主管機關之要求下，透過制度規範和公司治理提升之誘因，促使更多股東出席股東會的方式以電子投票為主。

In 2020, when Taiwan is facing the threat of COVID-19, the question of whether there will be mass infections among shareholders at shareholders' meetings of listed and OTC companies has arisen. In order to avoid an epidemic breach due to the gathering of shareholders at shareholders' meetings, the competent authorities and TDCC have continuously called for and advocated the adoption of electronic voting by shareholders.
This article begins with the discussion of corporate governance and introduces shareholder activism as one of the corporate governance practices, and then explains the relationship between shareholder activism and shareholder meetings. Then, from the convening of shareholder meetings, it is necessary to collect proxies as a reason to introduce current shareholders in Taiwan The functions and related specifications of the proxy statement, then introduce the origin and rules of the electronic voting system of the shareholders meeting, discuss the ways in which the electronic voting system of the shareholders meeting can be further refined, and introduce the relationship between the electronic voting of the shareholders meeting and the visual communication meeting.
Based on the results of the above analysis, this paper concludes that the collection of shares for shareholders' meetings in Taiwan is still mainly based on proxy solicitation, and the promotion of electronic voting at shareholders' meetings still needs to be backed up by continuous technological advancement, but listed and OTC companies can, at the request of the competent authorities, encourage more shareholders to attend shareholders' meetings mainly through electronic voting by means of institutional regulation and incentives to improve corporate governance.
