At a meeting, what happens if both the proxy-giver and proxy-holder attend?

When both the proxy-giver and the proxy-holder attend a meeting, typically, the proxy-giver retains the right to vote since they are present. This allows the individual to decide whether to exercise their vote personally or allow the proxy-holder to cast the vote on their behalf. In this situation, the proxy-giver can override the decisions made by the proxy-holder simply by voting themselves, which ensures that they have the final say in how their vote is cast.

Therefore, if a proxy-giver chooses to attend the meeting, they can reclaim their voting authority, making their vote effective and potentially nullifying the proxy-holder's authority in that instance. This is a standard procedure in many community associations to maintain individual control over important voting matters, illustrating the flexibility of proxy voting while still respecting the rights of those who appointed someone else to vote on their behalf.
