Arizona Revised Statutes Title 10. Corporations and Associations § 10-725. Quorum and voting requirements for voting groups

A. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if the quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter.  Unless the articles of incorporation or chapters 1 through 17 of this title provide otherwise, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter.

B. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting.

C. If a quorum exists, action on a matter, other than the election of directors, by a voting group is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the articles of incorporation or chapters 1 through 17 of this title require a greater number of affirmative votes.

D. An amendment of articles of incorporation adding, changing or deleting a quorum or voting requirement for a voting group greater than specified in subsection A or C of this section is governed by § 10-727.

E. The election of directors is governed by § 10-728.
