Our condo association currently sends out a proxy whereas the member can submit a proxy and specify a person to hold the proxy. The condo board currently operates on the theory of if the share owner signs the proxy but doesn’t specify a specific name, they use the accumulated proxies for the condo board president to cast their votes to a specific name, to include the officers and the re-election of the president himself back into the president position.
Totally seems foiled and one sided.
My first question is it legal and proper for counting a proxy that doesn’t specify a particular person or board member for the proxy holder?
My second, if so does the President get to assume those proxies are for his use and choice of a cumulative vote to both himself and other director positions?
State involved is MS. I have checked MS law and it only has general rules concerning use of proxy votes and doesn’t relate to this issue. The by-laws don’t speak to these details either.
