Which action will automatically invalidate a proxy?

The action that automatically invalidates a proxy is the signing of a new, more recent proxy by the proxy-giver. In the context of proxy management, a proxy is a legal document that allows one individual to act on behalf of another, especially in voting situations for community associations. When a proxy-giver decides to revoke their previous proxy, they can do so by creating a new proxy document. This new document takes precedence over any prior documents, thereby invalidating them.

This principle is based on the concept that the most recent expression of the proxy-giver's intent should apply. Consequently, once a new proxy is executed, any earlier proxies are rendered void automatically, ensuring clarity and reducing the likelihood of confusion during voting. This mechanism helps maintain the integrity of the voting process within community associations, allowing members to change their designated representatives as their circumstances or preferences evolve.
