As far as I understood every person who owns a stock can join the general meeting and vote about the company. How is that if somebody bought a single stock online? Apple has 15 billion shares. Even if every shareholder owned 1 million shares that would still be 15k people. How are they going to count who owns what?
edit: my question is not how they can house 15k people. i am asking how they can count the votes and make sure you bought a vote. if you bought some shares on a random trading site like [capital.com](http://capital.com) or robinhood how are you going to prove that you actually bought it? is there a vote button on robinhood?

They don’t. Vote by mail, or I believe online these days. You can also have a company or organization do your voting for you by designating them as proxy. Some of these organizations show up with the votes of thousands of shareholders behind them.
