Note that a nomination for election for candidate must be made by two Individual members (i.e. Fully Affiliated Members, not Associate Members). Candidates themselves may be Associate or Individual Members.
Individual Members are entitled to vote if they have paid their affiliation for the current Fencing Year (2017). Proxy votes must comply with The Fencing Victoria Rules of Incorporation – Section 35
All members wishing to vote either in person or by Proxy (including members holding Proxies on behalf of other members) MUST be fully Affiliated with Fencing Victoria at either a Junior, Senior or Coach Level.
All minors must have their Proxy votes signed by a parent/guardian. As a minor has no legal capacity, Junior members under the age of 18 may not exercise their voting rights, except through their legal guardian. Similarly, a proxy may only be provided by the legal guardian of a minor (i.e. the minor has no legal capacity to appoint a proxy). If a minor has completed a proxy form, this will only have effect if it has been also signed by their legal guardian.
