§ 1733.13.

(A) Each voting member present in person, by proxy, by mail ballot, by electronic ballot,

or as otherwise prescribed by a credit union's bylaws is entitled to cast one vote,

irrespective of the number of shares the member owns, on each matter properly submitted

to the members for their vote, consent, waiver, release, or other action. (B) The chairperson of the board, the president, any vice-president, secretary, or treasurer

of any association member of the credit union shall conclusively be presumed to have

authority to cast the vote of such association member and to appoint proxies and execute

consents, waivers, releases, on its behalf, unless before a vote is taken or a consent,

waiver, or release is acted upon, it appears by a certified copy of the code of regulations,

bylaws, or a resolution of the trustees, directors, or executive committee of the

said association member, that such authority does not exist or is vested in some other

officer or person.  For the purposes of this section, a person exercising such authority as such officer

is prima-facie to be considered duly elected, qualified, and acting as such officer. (C) If the articles or regulations so provide, any person, who is entitled to attend

a members' meeting to vote thereat, or to execute consents, waivers, or releases,

person's other rights, by mail ballot delivered to, or electronic ballot received

by, the office of the credit union at least seven days prior to the date set for the

meeting.  At least thirty days' notice shall be given to all eligible members of the date

set for such meeting.  No mail ballot or electronic ballot shall be valid after the expiration of eleven

months after delivery to or receipt by the credit union.  The form of any mail ballot or electronic ballot shall comply with criteria established

by the superintendent of financial institutions or have the prior written approval

of the superintendent. (2) Be represented at such meeting or vote thereat, and execute consents, waivers, and

releases, and exercise any of the person's other rights, by proxy or proxies appointed

by a writing signed by such person.  No appointment of a proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven months after

it is made.  The form of any proxy shall comply with criteria established by the superintendent

or have the prior written approval of the superintendent.
