A proxy is someone who votes on your behalf. Pre-defined or board appointed proxy's will appear automatically in the drop down list but you can manually add your own.

If you select nominate a proxy on the meeting participation request form you will see two or more options in the drop down list.

1. Select from:
   
   Secretary General   
   Other
2. If other is selected, the shareholder\\member can fill out the details which are then validated.
   
   Title  
   Given Name  
   Family Name  
   Citizenship  
   National ID  
   Address  
   Phone Number
3. You can then specify instructions you wish the proxy to adhere to.

-  

Note, a nominated proxy could be another shareholder or a family member etc who will completely represent the you. If your will attend the meeting and wish to nominate a proxy you would not fill this out.  If you nominate another shareholder then they will be automatically linked to the your account.

If you choose Nominate a proxy, a new question will appear on the meeting request form asking how would you like to vote on new resolutions put at the meeting. Here you can select from:

- [Appoint Chairman](https://go.lumiconnect.com/blog/appoint_chairperson?hsLang=en-gb)
- [Nominate a proxy](https://go.lumiconnect.com/blog/nominate_a_proxy?hsLang=en-gb)
- For
- Against
- Abstain
- [I do not wish to participate](https://go.lumiconnect.com/blog/do_not_wish_to_participate?hsLang=en-gb)

If you wish to bring a proxy who will represent a specific number of shares, you should add a comment in the notes from participant. This will then be added into the AGM core software by the meeting administrator.
