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 GOLDEN ENTERTAINMENT INC. for the 2023-2024 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 GOLDEN ENTERTAINMENT INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 23, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 199 asset managers reported how they voted on 8 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 2,057 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — To approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers… — GOLDEN ENTERTAINMENT INC.'s filing reports the proposal as approved, with 86% 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: GOLDEN ENTERTAINMENT INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 24, 2024.
