- Select whether the proxy is an individual or a body corporate.
- Provide the New proxy’s name or role, their mobile number and their email.
Click the Assign proxy button to assign your proxy. This will display the meeting resolutions and allow you to direct your votes.

Each Meeting resolution includes:
- Resolution name
- Resolution description
- Board recommendation
- Chairman’s voting intention
- Options for your vote:
- For
- Against

Clicking on one of these voting options will direct how you want your vote cast. Click Clear vote to deselect all voting options.
When you have directed your votes, click Submit votes to register your votes. On the Meetings page, the meeting will now show a Status of Votes submitted and a green dot to indicate you have voted.
