The elections must be by ballot and every stockholder entitled to vote shall have the right to vote in person or by proxy the number of shares of stock standing at the time fixed in the bylaws in his own name on the stock books of the corporation, and said stockholder may vote such number of shares for as many persons as there are directors or he may cumulate said shares and give one candidate as many votes as the number of directors to be elected, multiplied by the number of his shares, shall equal, or he may distribute them in the same principle among as many candidates as he shall see fit: Provided, that the whole number of votes cast by him shall not exceed the number of shares owned by him as shown by the books of the corporation multiplied by the whole number of directors to be elected. Members of corporations which have no capital stock may case as many votes for one director as there are directors to be elected.
