At an AGM, can proxies be used to vote for the position of chairperson?

For our upcoming AGM, nominations for committee members equal the required number, so no voting is required. However, there were no nominations for the position of chairperson, so nominations for this position are to be called from the floor at the AGM and then voted on.

Can proxies be used by AGM attendees for voting on the nominations received from the floor for the position of chairperson?

A proxy cannot vote on a ballot to elect a member of the committee.

Under the accommodation and standard modules, a proxy cannot vote on a ballot to elect a member of the committee.

So the votes or the chair can only come from eligible voters who vote from the floor on the day.

See the BCCM website for more information on proxies: General meeting voting
