I don't think there's a single corp that actually uses this mechanic to vote on decisions. It is a humongous clickfest and adds a completely arbitray 24 hour delay to mundane actions. Especially if there is only one eligible voter, why the hell do I have to wait 24 hours for the voting process to finish, and more importantly, why is there a voting process to begin with?

Keep the voting process, but make it end when everyone eligible has voted. It's still useful for unlocking BPOs and such.

Some actually do use the voting process in order to get consent of investors about actions involving expensive shared assets (like high end BPOs that are locked) and for making sweeping decisions like investing in expensive BPOs (or other assets).

The 24-hour delay is important to allow all the interested parties the chance to vote on these decisions; but not delay the vote too long waiting for inactive shareholders.

It would however be excellent if CCP decided to enable additional tools for those corps that want to operate more like a company and less like a guild.

Yeah, we really just need an alternate voting system that doesn't rely on shares. I've ended up tossing up a simple HTML page which records votes to get around how painful the current system is. Heck, just make the have-shares-to-vote requirement optional and it would be much more usable.

Yeah rather than getting rid of it, I think improving it would be far more helpful.

I honestly think PoCo based sov is a good idea https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1417544
