Read your governing documents to learn more about how proxies can be used in board elections in your association.
Usually, an owner receives a document which can serve as either a ballot or a proxy. So long as the owner's signature is on the document, and it can be identified as a proxy, it can be used as such. However, it can only be used for one or the other purpose, not both.

If someone is telling you that only proxies can be used in this case, request the legal opinion upon which this -- probably erroneous -- information is based.
Proxies are assignments of one's vote. If one is available and willing to vote, one should vote and not execute a proxy for someone else.
One can assign a proxy to cast a particular vote in the absence of an owner; one can assign a proxy to cast a vote that the proxy holder wants to cast; one can assign a proxy to cast a series of votes.
Proxies can be designed to execute most any vote.
Proxies are optional substitutes.

Does the Illinois Condo Act prohibit board members to remove another from their position at any specific time?
The Illinois Condo Act does not specifically prohibit board members from removing another board member from their position at any specific time.

These documents typically specify the process for removing a board member and may require a vote by the unit owners.
What is a proxy related to a condo association?
Proxy voting is an important process that condo associations use to ensure that important decisions can be made, even if all members cannot be physically present. In essence, a proxy is a written authorization that allows one person to represent or vote on behalf of another during a meeting, especially in instances where important matters need a quorum, like a board election. The person who holds the proxy, often a fellow board member, can vote on the other person’s behalf. It's not unusual for guidelines around proxy voting to be outlined in a condo association's governing documents to ensure fair and transparent use. Here at Daisy, we believe in simplifying processes, including voting. For that reason, we've enabled board members to review, discuss, and vote no matter where they are. This way, board members can participate fully in important decisions without the need for proxies. We believe that more participation leads to better decisions for the entire community. Of course, each association has its own unique governing rules, so it's always best to understand these rules thoroughly for your condo association.

My condo association is making claims on a D and O policy for the legal defense of the association not for the directors Is this insurance fraud?
When you write 'association', you are referring to a person. Without a person, the 'association' has no voice with which to make any claims. If the person sits on the board of the association, then the person is part of the association -- as are all of its members. The person is a director and/or officer of the association. The association cannot act independently of a person, a board -- some physical entity. In the case of a claim against the association, persons from the board will be involved in the claim resolution, the directors and/or officers. The D&O coverage covers people who hold these offices in the association.
How can you fire your condo association?
Condominium ownership is a form of real estate ownership that provides for common areas owned by all owners who also own a unit. The association is the business of operating the community, and can be a corporation, commonly, a non-profit corporation. Every owner is given a set of governing documents -- at least CC&Rs and By-laws -- so that an owner understands the legal obligations of ownership. The By-laws detail the operation of the association, and includes the process by which leaders -- the board of directors -- are elected. As well, a recall of board members is possible and the process is also detailed in the By-laws. No, you cannot 'fire' the association. You can elect board members, and recall board members. These people can 'fire' association managers and other vendors.
