Special Assessment Meeting?

Our Florida HOA held a special assessment meeting and did not give the required 30 days notice, but 14 days notice. Also the Secretary did not fill out ballots for the proxies she received until the day after the meeting. At the meeting the proxies were counted as ballots and the assessment passed. If the proxy shows how the person wanted to vote is it necessary to fill out a ballot? Is the special assessment valid or does it need to be redone?

Thanks, Nancy, I checked the FS and you're right!!!! Guess our HOA needs to switch attorneys he told us 30 days. What does 720 say about proxies and ballots? I thought a proxy wasn't the actual vote but rather gave power to a specified person to vote in their absence.
