Appointing a proxy
What is a proxy?
It is possible to authorize a proxy to cast a (physical paper) vote on your behalf. This is done by generating a proxy authorization form, signing it and physically handing it over to the person that will cast the vote on your behalf. The proxy form is handed over to the AFRINIC staff at the meeting venue in exchange for a paper ballot. You can also send a scanned copy to election-proxy[at]afrinic.net at least 24h before the beginning of the AGMM (it is recommended that you also copy your representative on that e-mail).
How to generate a proxy form?
Just navigate to Elections->Access Election Centre and choose the 'proxy' option. Once you have generated a proxy form, you will not be able to cast a vote through the E-Voting system.

Who can cast a vote using the E-Voting system?

How to cast a vote using the E-Voting system?
