Proxy voting - appointing someone to vote on your behalf. How many votes does each member of the voting booth have? Can I vote in person? What does proxy voting mean?
The simple answer is ‘yes’: a person can currently hold more than two proxies – there is no limit at the moment. At the moment” is key here, and this seems to be where the confusion comes in.
Contrary to information being circulate the proxy limitation has not come into effect yet. I would like to know how many proxy votes one person can hold. Roman Gargantiel, Jr.
There is no common law right for people to be able to use proxy votes. That means, if your constitution does not explicitly allow proxy votes, then they are not allowed. There is a requirement that you and the person you wish to appoint as proxy , must be registered to vote. A proxy form may include specific instructions on how the proxy should vote – if this is done then the proxy is bound to follow these instructions.
Currently, one person could lobby other owners to authorise them to appoint the one person as their proxy , allowing the one person to vote for or against a motion in a manner that best suits their needs. Sec3states the statutory right of a member to appoint a proxy, but note sec3( ), which allows more than one proxy to be appointed provided this is in respect of different shares.
One of those provisions is that a proxy cannot be used if the owner has cast a written or electronic vote on the motion. A proxy cannot overrule the rights of the owner to vote. A proxy has one vote for and one vote against a resolution on a show of hands where they have been appointed by more than one member and the proxy has been instructed to vote in different ways by the different members.
A duly authorised representative appointed by a corporation may also vote on a show of hands. Voters can also ask a political party to set up a proxy , but many people are reluctant to do this – particularly if they are intending to vote tactically for a party they do not normally support. Mister Condo replies: B. Every member present in person , or by proxy , has one vote on a show of hands, regardless of the number of shares held. Members may appoint multiple proxies, provided each proxy represents a different part of the holding, each of whom will have a vote on a show of hands. Voters can revoke a proxy by issuing a new one or by providing written notice to the association secretary.
The owner can also revoke a proxy by attending a meeting in person and casting their own ballot. In this case, the voter must attend the meeting AND vote at the meeting in order for their vote to count. A proxy vote means that you choose someone you trust to vote on your behalf. This can be particularly helpful if you fall ill or if you are abroad on Election Day. Anyone over can apply for a proxy vote if you are on the electoral register but you will need to provide a reason.
We have a problem with the board president collecting multiples proxies to control the vote and who remains on or gets kicked off the baord. You can be a proxy for people at the. Three candidates and just five people to decide between them. One got no votes and the other two got two votes each, so I got to pick one.
He got in and became an MEP.
This created a fuss and after that, we went over to sending out info packs and mail voting by all members. Some people button-holed me and wanted to know why I had pick X over Y. The problem is that some people are going door to door, harassed other residents and spreading untrue information and most important collecting proxies. The question: Is one person allowed to vote one behalf of many people ? Like, one person can get at the meeting 1ballots and vote ? Is any regulation about this? It seems for me that it is.
The Model Articles (see below) are slightly more liberal, allowing a poll to be demanded by any two or more members (as does Table A, for older companies).
