About this term

Proxy voting allows members to participate when unable to attend meetings. Proxy procedures are governed by bylaws and state law. Well-managed HOAs have robust proxy voting; poorly-managed ones may use proxies to bypass member input. Understand proxy procedures and voting requirements.

Pro Tip

Use proxy voting when you can't attend. It ensures your interests are represented in major decisions.

Example

Unable to attend annual meeting, an owner grants another member power-of-attorney to vote on their behalf at the meeting
