# 2026 Global Voting Spotlight

BlackRock Investment Stewardship's review of the 2025/26 proxy year shows median support for governance-related shareholder proposals rising to 23.6%, with APAC seeing accelerated consolidation and heightened activist activity, particularly in Japan. For SEA boards, it signals rising investor scrutiny of governance structures and minority shareholder rights that boards should anticipate.
