Coverage: what the data includes, season by season

This page counts what proxyvotesnow.com holds for each proxy season (1 July to 30 June): the Form N-PX filings read, the companies that have a page, how many meetings on those pages are matched to the company’s own official result on Form 8-K, and where the gaps are. The figures are computed by the same weekly build that produces the pages. How each figure on a company page is derived is explained in the methodology.

Computed on 2026-10-12 (UTC). Newest Form N-PX filing read: 2026-09-16. Newest 8-K result read: 2026-10-09. Company pages last rendered: 2026-10-12.

1. Form N-PX filings

Funds and institutional managers report their proxy votes once a year on Form N-PX, by 31 August for the season that ended on 30 June. Late and amended filings keep arriving afterwards, so the latest season still grows.

Amendments

Amendments filed on Form N-PX/A are not applied yet. Once they are, this section will count those applied, those waiting and those held back.

2. Company pages

A company gets a page for a season when at least 100 managers disclosed votes on it. Below that, coverage is too thin to stand as a page; the company can still be searched.

Season	2025-2026	2024-2025	2023-2024
Pages published	2,875	2,784	2,825
Share of companies with votes	10.3%	9.7%	11.0%
Not published	54	33	13
dup: same security as another page	2	3	4
retired: below tier	46	22	7
skipped: no results	6	8	2
Manager pages published	181	183	173

3. Meetings and official results on the company pages

These counts are read from the published pages themselves. A meeting is matched when the company’s Form 8-K Item 5.07 report of the result has been found and read; a ballot item is matched when it is joined to a row of that report.

Season	2025-2026	2024-2025	2023-2024
Meetings shown	3,069	2,939	2,954
With a matched 8-K	2,619 85.3%	2,512 85.5%	2,555 86.5%
Without	450 14.7%	427 14.5%	399 13.5%
… of which the company has a non-U.S. security number	247	243	247
Ballot items shown	41,837	41,436	42,511
At meetings with a matched 8-K	25,910	25,092	25,876
… of which matched to a row of the 8-K	23,056 89.0%	22,678 90.4%	23,086 89.2%
Official result rows shown	23,953	23,496	23,990
Stated in the filing	13,265 55.4%	12,959 55.2%	13,122 54.7%
Tally only	10,589 44.2%	10,419 44.3%	10,760 44.9%
Not checked	99 0.4%	118 0.5%	108 0.5%
Stated outcome that the filing’s own tally contradicts	51	42	48

A meeting appears once per company page. At a meeting with a matched 8-K, an item stays unmatched when the funds’ wording could not be joined to a row of the 8-K on evidence, or when the 8-K as read has no row for it. Fund wordings too small to show as items are not counted.

Stated in the filing: the 8-K itself says the item was approved, not approved, elected or not elected.
Tally only: the 8-K gives vote counts but no outcome; the page shows whether FOR was more than half of the votes cast, which is arithmetic, not the legal result.
Not checked: no outcome is stated and the tally was not compared with the votes cast.

A company counts as based outside the United States when its security number is a non-U.S. (CINS) number; companies such as Canadian issuers with U.S.-style numbers are therefore not in that count.

4. Official results collected, all companies

The search covers every company, not only those with a page, so more 8-K results are held than the pages show. Seasons here are by meeting date. The current season has no Form N-PX filings yet; its official results are searchable as they are filed.

Season	2026-2027	2025-2026	2024-2025	2023-2024
Meetings with an 8-K Item 5.07 result	674	6,198	6,486	7,107
Found through EDGAR full-text search	658	3,237	1,899	5,614

5. Known gaps

Companies outside the United States. Most file no Form 8-K, so their pages show the reporting funds’ votes with no official result. In 2025-2026, 247 of the 450 meetings without a matched 8-K are for companies with a non-U.S. (CINS) security number.
How 8-Ks are found. Since June 2023, 8-K Item 5.07 reports are found through EDGAR full-text search (13,151 meetings so far). Before that, and alongside it, the search starts from the meetings named in Form N-PX filings, so an earlier meeting no fund reported may be missing.
Institutional managers report only executive-pay votes. An institutional manager’s Form N-PX covers say-on-pay and related votes only, so a manager with no vote on a director is not missing data. In 2025-2026, 8,584 of the 11,639 filings are institutional-manager reports.
Who files. Form N-PX is filed by registered funds and by institutional managers above the SEC’s threshold. Individuals, most foreign holders and many other investors do not file, so fund totals are never the meeting result.
Filings outside the seasons shown. 21 filings report on periods before 2023-2024 and are not counted above.

6. Definitions

Season: 1 July to 30 June, labelled by both years. Form N-PX filings are assigned by the period they report on; 8-K results by meeting date.
Filer and manager: A filer is one SEC registrant (one CIK). A manager is the investment manager the site attributes a filing to; one manager can file through several registrants.
Company: Companies are identified by the issuer number in the CUSIP that fund filers report, not by name.
Stated in the filing: The 8-K itself says the item was approved, not approved, elected or not elected. Where it gives only vote counts, the page shows the tally and whether FOR was more than half of the votes cast, which is arithmetic and not the legal result.
