Common stock is a form of corporate equity ownership, a type of security. The terms "voting share" or "ordinary share" are also used frequently in other parts of the world; "common stock" being primarily used in the United States.
It is called "common" to distinguish it from preferred stock. If both types of stock exist, common stockholders cannot be paid dividends until all preferred stock dividends are paid in full.
In the event of bankruptcy, common stock investors receive any remaining funds after bondholders, creditors (including employees), and preferred stockholders are paid. As such, common stock investors often receive nothing after a bankruptcy.
On the other hand, common shares on average perform better than preferred shares or bonds over time.
Common stock usually carries with it the right to vote on certain matters, such as electing the board of directors. However, a company can have both a "voting" and "non-voting" class of common stock.
Holders of voting common stock are able to influence the corporation through votes on establishing corporate objectives and policy, stock splits, and electing the company's board of directors. Some holders of common stock also receive preemptive rights, which enable them to retain their proportional ownership in a company should it issue another stock offering. There is no fixed dividend paid out to common stockholders and so their returns are uncertain, contingent on earnings, company reinvestment, efficiency of the market to value and sell stock.

http://academlib.com/6033/management/new_model_articles_say_events_lead_loss_office_director#172 No this is not always the case, though it must be an ordinary resolution. It is one share one vote unless the articles stipulate otherwise. It is possible for articles to provide for some form of weighted voting, with some shares carrying more votes than others. An extreme example of this was upheld in Bushell v Faith 1970. In this case articles gave a director's shares extra votes on a resolution to remove him as a director.
