"The voting was held by polling," he specified.
As it was already reported, RAO UES shareholders nominated 41 candidates for election to the company's board of directors with a total of 15 seats.
The voting on candidates for election to the energy holding's board of directors will take place at the annual shareholders meeting to be held in late May-early June 2004.
