Currently the BOD of a POA does not allow proxy voting. Nothing is noted in the bylaws on it at all. What text could be inserted into these bylaws to give Association Members this option? Should all methods of voting be given i.e. Proxy, Ballot, Absentee? Thanks for your quick response. VA

Virginia, following are examples: Voting Members may cast by ballot, absentee ballot, or proxy, the number of votes as they are entitled to exercise under the provisions of the Declaration. Proxies (a) If only one of the multiple Unit Owners of a Unit is present at a meeting of the Association, such Unit Owner is entitled to cast all votes allocated to that Unit. If more than one of the multiple Unit Owners are present, the votes allocated to that Unit may be cast only in accordance with the agreement of a majority in interest of the Unit Owners, unless the Declaration expressly provides otherwise. There is majority agreement if any one of the multiple Unit Owners casts the votes allocated to that Unit without protest being made promptly to the person presiding over the meeting by any of the other Unit Owners of the Unit. (b) Votes allocated to a Unit may be cast pursuant to a proxy duly executed by a Unit Owner. If a Unit is owned by more than one Person, each Unit Owner of the Unit may vote or register protest to the casting of votes by the other Unit Owners of the Unit through a duly executed proxy. A Unit Owner may not revoke a proxy given pursuant to this Section except by actual attendance or by notice of revocation to the Person presiding over the meeting of the Association. A proxy is void if it is not dated or purports to be revocable without notice.

Our bylaw section on Proxies is similar to what RogerB posted but it does include the following sentences which is also on the proxy: "Proxies shall be signed and filed with the Secretary of the Community Club prior to the opening of any meeting at which they are voted. Proxies shall be effective only for the meeting at which filed, unless by their express terms they are given for a longer duration."
