Not shown here: this season’s fund filings also report 1 item from the meeting of June 26, 2025, which belongs to the 2024-2025 season. A meeting outside this season’s July 1 to June 30 window is not counted in this page’s items or in its totals of asset managers and fund votes.
Ranked separately for each type of Form N-PX report. An institutional manager can report shares that a fund it advises also reports, so the two tables can list the same shares and are never added together. Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported.

Shown as share counts, not percentages: no shares-outstanding figure has been matched to Equity Residential for the 2025-2026 season, so there is no denominator to divide by.
Every figure above is derived from filings made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: Form N-PX, in which registered funds disclose how they voted every proxy and institutional managers disclose their votes on executive pay (say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and golden parachutes), and Form 8-K Item 5.07, in which the company reports its own meeting results. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At Equity Residential's shareholder meeting held June 18, 2026, in the 2025-2026 proxy season, 673 asset managers reported how they voted on 12 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 9,381 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — Approval of Executive Compensation. — Equity Residential's filing reports the proposal as approved, with 90% support of the votes cast (FOR divided by FOR plus AGAINST, the conventional basis for proxy support; abstentions, broker non-votes and unvoted shares are excluded because none of them took a side). Source: Equity Residential's Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2026.
