What is a Homeowners Association Proxy form?
A Homeowners Association Proxy form is a document that allows a homeowner to authorize another individual to vote on their behalf during Association meetings. This is particularly useful for those who may be unable to attend the meeting in person but still want to have their voice heard on important community issues.
Who can I assign as my proxy?
You can assign your proxy to a neighbor who will be attending the meeting or to any current Board Member. This flexibility ensures that your vote can still be cast, even if you can’t be there yourself.
How do I complete the Proxy form?
To complete the Proxy form, fill in your name, address, and the number of votes you are entitled to cast. Next, indicate whether you are assigning your proxy to a specific individual or to the Board of Directors. Finally, sign and date the form. Make sure all information is accurate to avoid any issues on voting day.
When should I submit my Proxy form?
It’s important to submit your Proxy form prior to the regular or special meeting of the Association. Forms that are received after the meeting will not be accepted, so be sure to plan ahead and give your form to your designated proxy in a timely manner.
Can I revoke my Proxy once it’s been submitted?
Yes, you can revoke your Proxy at any time before the meeting. Simply submit a new Proxy form with the updated information, or inform your designated proxy that you no longer wish for them to vote on your behalf. Communication is key to ensuring your voting preferences are respected.
What if I don’t assign a proxy?
If you do not assign a proxy and are unable to attend the meeting, your vote will not be cast. This can mean missing out on important decisions affecting your community. It’s always a good idea to either attend in person or ensure someone is authorized to vote for you.
Are there any limitations on the number of votes I can assign?
Each homeowner is entitled to vote based on the number of lots they own. You can assign all of your votes to your chosen proxy, but keep in mind that only one individual can represent you. Make sure to check your voting rights and the number of votes you hold within the Association.
What happens if my proxy does not attend the meeting?
If your assigned proxy does not attend the meeting, your vote will not be cast. It’s a good idea to confirm with your proxy before the meeting to ensure they will be present. If there’s a chance they may not be able to make it, consider assigning a backup proxy as well.
