What is the purpose of proxy forms in condominium management?

The purpose of proxy forms in condominium management is to enable unit owners who cannot attend meetings in person to have their voices heard and their votes counted. By completing a proxy form, unit owners can designate another individual, often a fellow unit owner or a member of the condominium board, to represent them at meetings. This representation allows them to participate in discussions and decisions that affect the condominium community.

Proxy forms serve multiple functions within the governance of a condominium. They are instrumental during elections for new board members, allowing owners to support candidates even if they are not physically present at the meeting. Additionally, proxies can be utilized to vote on specific issues, such as amendments to the condominium declaration, budget approvals, or other important resolutions that may arise in meetings.

This comprehensive role of proxy forms makes them an essential tool in facilitating effective management and decision-making within the condominium context, ensuring that all unit owners have the opportunity to participate in governance, regardless of their ability to attend meetings in person.
