A. Proxy. An accredited participant in the convention may, after having appeared at the convention and having established credentials, give a written proxy to another accredited participant from the same ward (or precinct), provided that no person may hold more than three (3) proxies at one time.
B. Elections. In the election of delegates and alternate delegates to a state convention, except when delegates and alternate delegates elected at the ward (or precinct) level are merely certified at a County Convention to be delegates and alternate delegates to a state convention, non-secret voting shall be conducted according to Appendix A. The election of delegates and alternates is not subject to the requirement of equal division of men and women (Appendix A).
C. Alternate Delegates. An alternate delegate elected to a County Convention may vote if the alternate delegate has been designated by a delegate, elected or automatic, who is from the same ward or precinct and is absent from the convention. The delegate is free to designate an alternate delegate of the delegate's choice. If delegates are absent and have not designated alternate delegates, the alternate delegates shall fill the delegates' positions according to Rule 7-1.D. If the rank ordering of alternate delegates at a County Convention is not determinable, then vacancies that exist for which there have been no designations by the delegates shall be filled by the drawing of lots
