Yes. No matter how many shares of a company's stock you own, 1 share to 1,000,000 shares, you have voting rights and can attend shareholder meetings to voice your opinion. Of course, shareholders with the most stock will sway any elections because of their equity position in the company.
Shareholders with at least 5% of the company's voting capital can serve a 'request' on the company at its registered office requiring the board to call a shareholders' meeting (and to circulate a statement to go with such proposed resolution).

All shareholders must be notified of the format, date, time, and place of the meeting. How far in advance notices should be distributed may depend on your state, but generally, they should be sent out more than 10 days prior to the meeting, but less than 60 days.
Notification to Shareholders Annual shareholder meetings require a notice period of at least 21 days. The notice period can be shortened with the expressed consent of all shareholders. The notice should include all the basic meeting details and other important pieces of documentation, such as the meeting agenda.
For management, the annual meeting presents an opportunity to obtain shareholder approval of matters required under state or federal law, including, most significantly, the election of directors. The primary purpose of the annual meeting is to have shareholders act on the matters presented to them for a vote.
While the shareholder is the owner of the company, the directors control the company's internal affairs and management, including the completion of various tax, regulatory and legal compliances. The same person can assume both the roles unless articles of association of the company explicitly prohibits it.
