Is it not possible to set up an electronic, web-based proxy vote?
In that way CS members can login, as they do for grading, and cast their vote online. The chair can then register the votes as cast at the meeting.
There are actually 2 types of proxy votes
- where the Proxy holder must vote as directed by the member
- where the Proxy holder has the freedom to vote on behalf of the member
The first option obviously prevents "bloc" voting by the Proxy holder
