The long-awaited Securities and Exchange Commission “proxy plumbing” concept release to seek input on how to modernize the voting infrastructure is officially on the agency’s agenda.

The SEC has scheduled an open meeting for July 14 to consider whether to issue a concept release to solicit public comment on whether the agency should consider revisions to its rules to promote greater efficiency and transparency in the U.S. proxy system and enhance the accuracy and integrity of the shareholder vote, according to the July 7 Sunshine Act Meeting notice.
