as someone on the Ward List, it's not elected by corporations at all

companies do get a vote allocation depending on the number of employees they have working in the City, but then these employees can then vote for whoever they want

(and it's a secret ballot)



Corporations have almost twice the vote allocation that residents do, and there is "a named individual who is responsible for nominating the voters for their organisation" [1]

What do you not understand in the phrases: "Worker vote registration" and "businesses and other organisations"?

It is workplaces that nominate voters who then vote by secret ballot in accordance with ROPA.
