WHAT’S A PROXY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
This explains the "Proxy Forms" we are using for a "members requested" Special Meeting of the Association and also for the actual "voting by proxy".
A Proxy is a document used to allow someone else to stand-in for you. Just as if you were there in person.
• A general proxy is a document allowing someone to vote in your place, but to vote as they decide, regardless of your choices.
• A directed proxy is a document that states how you wish to have your vote submitted.
Your choices are the only vote submitted.
You may sign a new proxy, even if a previous proxy form has been signed. "ONLY the MOST RECENT" signed form is applicable.
The proxy forms listed on this site are DIRECTED PROXY forms. You will fill them out and sign both sheets and then return them immediately to be submitted at the proper times.** Proxy forms may be downloaded here: Final - 11-17-2014 Absentee Ballot-Quorum P....pdf (45.82 KB)and instructions: Proxy Instructions 2.pdf (54.91 KB)
** NOTE: These Proxy Forms are being collected in order to guarantee your vote makes it to the election in November. Should you plan on being there, great. If something comes up and prevents you from getting there, these proxy forms will still provide your vote makes it. These proxy forms ONLY matter is you don't attend the election. If you do attend in person, then the proxy will be void and allow you to cast your votes personally.
** All proxy forms collected, we will submit at the election, regardless of how it is voted. Our goal has always been to support the entire community and not just select sections
WARNING – It has come to our attention, Mary Anne Butler Hayes, wife of Paul Hayes, is listed on an anonymous “GENERAL PROXY” form being circulated in the community and by mail, to effectively
HIJACKING YOUR VOTE!
It states
• You are to give up your right to vote your opinion
• You give away your choices for 3 YEARS!
• Your Right to Vote can be given away to ANYONE!
As Americans, we have the right to vote how we want. And we should NEVER give it away.
