Abstract

The article analyses the latest regulations regarding the possibility of voting with the use direct remote communication means in the governing bodies of cooperatives. Amendments to the Cooperative Law and in consequence the possibility for cooperatives to vote using remote communication means were essentially forced by an external factor, namely the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic. Due to the fact that the new provisions may now arouse a number of doubts in practice, special attention in this article has been devoted to the formal and technical conditions for exercising voting rights and to taking minutes of resolutions adopted with the use of electronic communication means.
