Swedish term or phrase: röstlängd
Hello

På en ordinarie bolagsstämma ska följande ärenden behandlas:
2: Upprättande och godkännande av röstlängd.

I've seen that 'voting list' and 'list of voters' for a board meeting was proposed in the past on Proz but they are very different.

Either way, I think it's strange to decide just before a vote who is going to vote and on what!?

But which one is it in the above please?

I would have said 'resolutions' myself as I think it is points to vote on but 'längd' is vague in Swedish no?

shareholder roster


Explanation:
Here's some explanation (http://www.companylawclub.co.uk/topics/what_voting_rights_do...

Voting at the AGM is by shareholders 'present' at the meeting -- in person or by proxy. Your term refers to the list of these shareholders and the amount of shares/votes each has, either by direct ownership or by proxy.

I do see that many Swe firms have used 'voting list' for this and this could suffice, these references give some support to a more 'English' sounding designation, esp. the articles of association for Plantagon below.

See if this helps!

agree  Christopher Schröder: Not "present shareholders" but "shareholders present" - big difference!

  -> Right you are!
agree  Cynthia Coan: Makes sense, if one assumes an individual otherwise meeting requirements for being eligible to vote has to be present at a meeting and can't vote in absentia.

(BrE) register of voting members


Explanation:
Obviously, in SV, there is a register of shares vs. voters' list for a co.

In the UK, it would be register of members only.
