Proxy Voting

Ensure quorum is met and every voice is heard, even when members can’t attend. 

ElectionBuddy’s proxy voting tools allow members to designate a trusted representative to cast their vote, ensuring your organization meets quorum requirements and the voting is able to move forward.

Facilitate flexibility and trust while ensuring high voting turnout. ElectionBuddy makes it easy for members to transfer their voting rights to another member.

The type of your proxy dictates your ballot style and process:

• Directed Proxy: A voter assigns the proxy to another to vote in a specific and directed way. For example, Voter A gives a proxy to Voter B to vote for Dave for president.
• Indirect Proxy: A voter assigns the proxy to another to allow them to vote in whatever way they choose. For example, Voter A gives a proxy to Voter B to vote for anyone they choose for president.

ElectionBuddy’s Proxy Voting supports indirect proxy votes. Members can assign a proxy to a trusted individual, granting them the authority to vote on their behalf. The proxy holder receives the necessary voting weight and casts the vote based on their judgment. The proxy giver’s vote will automatically update to reflect the choice of the proxy holder. This ensures the absent members are counted towards the final tally.
