Must a timeshare proxy provide the option for a person not currently on the board to be valid in Florida?Can any unit owner request a proxy?

As a general matter, there is no required form for a proxy, and the proxy solicitor can name any group of candidates for the board that he or she wishes. If you want to run a competing slate of candidates, you need to print, circulate and solicit your own proxies. It is important to remember that proxies are not ballots -- they merely authorize a designated person to vote in favor of the slate of candidates sought by the proxy solicitor. The solicitor has no duty to include your candidates. Generally, any unit holder can prepare his own proxy and solicit others.
