PROXY VOTING
Proxy voting is the delegation to another member (the proxy) of a voting body of that member’s power to vote in his/her (the principal’s) absence.
This is not to be confused with an absentee ballot. An absentee ballot is a ballot submitted by a principal, in that principal’s absence. TLA does not recognize absentee ballots. A proxy vote gives the proxy the right to vote on behalf of the principal in the principal’s absence. The principal can allow the proxy to vote as the proxy desires or direct the proxy how to vote. The proxy represents the principal’s selection.
Proxy is defined by the Supreme Court as “an authority or power to do a certain thing.” A person can confer on his/her proxy any power which they themselves possess. Where the proxy is duly appointed and he/she act within the scope of the proxy, the person authorizing the proxy is bound by his/her appointee’s acts, including his/her errors or mistakes.
A proxy cannot vote when the principal himself/herself is present and votes. He/she can vote for the principal only in the principal’s absence when authorized via completed proxy form.
Where the authority conferred upon a proxy is limited to a designated or special purpose, a vote for another and different purpose is ineffective. (EX: proxy was assigned for election voting. At the election, a motion was acknowledged and voted upon. The proxy does not get to vote for the principal on this new motion.)
Both the principal and proxy must be dues paying members. If a proxy form is submitted where either the principal or proxy is not a dues paying member, it will be voided and not counted.
NOTE: Proxy forms are available from a member of the nomination/election committee or when available in Tidbits.
Completed proxy forms must be returned by the principal to a member of the nomination/election committee 3 days prior to the election. Proxy forms will not be accepted at the election.
** For those who choose to vote by proxy: Please personally submit your proxy form to one of the following election committee member by Saturday, September 12th. Melissa Bettner 1 Covenger Drive 609-410-2806
