Right to Vote; Proxies Clause Samples

The 'Right to Vote; Proxies' clause establishes the rules governing a party's ability to participate in decision-making by casting votes, either directly or through a designated representative known as a proxy. This clause typically outlines who is eligible to vote, the procedures for appointing a proxy, and any limitations on proxy authority, such as requiring written authorization or restricting the number of proxies one person may hold. Its core function is to ensure that all eligible parties have a clear and fair mechanism to exercise their voting rights, even if they cannot be present in person, thereby maintaining effective governance and representation.
