This paper reviews the necessity of mandatory electronic voting as a measure against the abolition of the shadow voting system and the mitigation of resolution requirements. The mandatory use of the electronic voting system is crucial in terms of providing opportunities for voting shareholders who do not attend shareholders’meetings and as a means of encouraging voting rights for shareholders who are passive in attending shareholders' meetings. Surely we are able to think of a way to require written voting or solicitation of proxy instead of electronic voting. However, this method is costly and is not a realistic measure, especially for the listed companies. If the shadow voting system is abolished and the resolution of the general meeting is unclear and the encouraging voting rights for small shareholders is not effective, it may be the most realistic alternative for the resolution of the general meeting. The specific method allows to keep the quorum requirement relaxed rather than to abolish the quorum to the articles of incorporation, and in the case of important agendas, it is desirable to avoid the mitigation below certain thresholds. The abolition of the shadow voting system is intended to encourage the company to do its best to encourage shareholders to exercise voting rights. Therefore, to save the intent of the abolition of the shadow voting system, it is necessary to alleviate the resolution requirements in connection with the company's efforts to exercise shareholder voting rights.
