Maria,
Having seen the practice of a proxy list in other communities being used, (whilst house hunting) trawled EOS, read your answers on this thread , and looked to put a proposal to give a fairer opinion of neighbours, with their proxy vote( in some cases, used by the holder for there own requirements.) Posted the information from this thread on our urbanisation thread, the following has been posted by our Vice-President in reply.

"See your point but I think that María (the lawyer) is sidestepping the issue in her answer. It’s a matter of semantics, but the essential part is that whoever gets the proxy with added information about the wishes of the absent voter is ->not bound<- by the proxy vote and it’s stipulations. The proxy holder is still legally free to vote whatever they want so the law prohibiting pre-votes hold."
Following this statement, is it possible to clarify my/our position on this matter.
In anticipation, gracias
