Recommendation 9
The Chief Electoral Officer indicated that the use of special ballot voting should eliminate the need for proxy voting. The Committee strongly encourages development of special ballot voting which would ensure proxy votes were no longer required in any circumstances. However, if there will still be any need for the use of proxy votes, Members of the Committee believe strongly that the procedures for proxy votes should be clarified and made much more restrictive.
Recommendation 10
I move that this Committee recommends that procedures for proxy voting should be revised to minimize the potential for misuse.
