HOA Proxy Form

Elections

Proxy authorization form allowing a homeowner to designate another person to vote on their behalf at a meeting.

About this template

A proxy form allows a homeowner who cannot attend an annual or special meeting to designate another person — often a neighbor or a board member — to cast their vote on their behalf. Proxies are essential for achieving quorum in communities where turnout is typically low. This template includes both a general proxy (proxy holder votes at their discretion) and a directed proxy (homeowner specifies how each vote should be cast), giving homeowners the choice of how much direction to provide.

What's included
  • Homeowner name, unit address, and contact information
  • Name and address of the proxy holder
  • Meeting date and the specific business for which the proxy is granted
  • General proxy option — proxy holder votes at discretion
  • Directed proxy option — homeowner specifies vote on each item
  • Revocation instructions and expiration statement
When to use this template

Distribute this form with the annual meeting notice and election ballot, with a return deadline at least 48 hours before the meeting. Most state laws require proxies to be in writing and submitted in advance.
