Proxy voting is an important process that condo associations use to ensure that important decisions can be made, even if all members cannot be physically present. In essence, a proxy is a written authorization that allows one person to represent or vote on behalf of another during a meeting, especially in instances where important matters need a quorum, like a board election.
The person who holds the proxy, often a fellow board member, can vote on the other person’s behalf. It's not unusual for guidelines around proxy voting to be outlined in a condo association's governing documents to ensure fair and transparent use.
Here at Daisy, we believe in simplifying processes, including voting. For that reason, we've enabled board members to review, discuss, and vote no matter where they are. This way, board members can participate fully in important decisions without the need for proxies. We believe that more participation leads to better decisions for the entire community.
Of course, each association has its own unique governing rules, so it's always best to understand these rules thoroughly for your condo association.
