Question:
Can board members go from house to house in a Florida HOA community to request blank proxy votes from people who will not be attending naming them as the proxy for an upcoming vote?

Answer:
Hi Robert,
It is up to the voters (homeowners) whom to appoint as their proxies should they be unable to cast their vote. While the Florida statutes don’t prohibit board members from going door to door asking for proxy votes, there are some ethical considerations to be made. Make sure to check your governing documents to see if there are stricter requirements. Additionally, homeowners must be advised accordingly.
