Well, I know of several institutions (here in Nairobi even), which allow members to vote by proxy - however, there are certain restrictions: a) a member can only give his/her proxy to another member, b) no voting member may hold more than one additional proxy. Does that sound like a reasonable compromise? Oliver (aka BT)

Grace,
proxy-i don't really know about this but ave never heard of a company that doesn't give its members the opportunity to vote by proxy.
...and i have never seen a company that allows a member to send someone tp vote for them...really where does it happen i send say my brother to go vote for say x??or about issue y?which he has no idea of....?makes no sense at all.collecting dividends and staff,yes proxy is accepted but vote??really?? or maybe i don't get the context of "proxy"...
Abbas,yes should one be absent on voting days,he/she forfeits his/her vote,that's my thought....
