kontrollitaval

Kontrollitaval is a Finnish term used in discussions of governance and voting. It is not a standard legal term in Finnish law, and its precise meaning varies by context. Broadly, it refers to a vote or voting mechanism associated with establishing or maintaining control over an actor such as a company, a government body, or an organization.

Etymologically, the word combines kontrolli (control) with a suffix that signals a state or instrument, suggesting a “control vote” or a vote that yields control. Because it is not anchored to a single, universal definition, its interpretation depends on the specific discussion or regulatory framework.

In corporate governance discussions, kontrollitaval may describe voting rights, ownership blocks, or governance structures that determine who holds or retains control of the company. A control vote might be a major decision at a general meeting, often connected to large shareholdings or special voting arrangements that enable control beyond ordinary majorities.

In political or public administration contexts, kontrollitaval can refer to votes that decide who governs a public body or how a government is formed or maintained. This can include confidence votes, leadership appointments, or budget-related approvals that determine the governing authority.

Because kontrollitaval is not a fixed term with a universal definition, readers should rely on context and primary sources to understand its precise meaning in a given text. See also kontrolli, valta, äänestys, osakeomistus.
