A proxy is an agreed replacement for a voting person. The template form ensures a proxy votes ing to the person they represent, not ing to their own discretion. It also ensures that only members or proxies vote, rather than unannounced outsiders.
A company is required to file its proxy statements with the SEC no later than the date proxy materials are first sent or given to shareholders. You can see this filing by using the SEC's database, known as EDGAR. Enter the company's name here and select the appropriate company to view its SEC filings.
