BUILDING SOCIETIES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1967 - SECT 68

Proxies.

68.(1) Any provision contained in the rules of a building society shall be
void in so far as it would have the effect either

(a)of excluding the right to demand a poll at a meeting of the society, on any
question other than the election of a chairman of the meeting or the
adjournment of the meeting; or

(b)of making ineffective a demand for a poll on any such question which is
made by not less than ten members having the right to vote at the meeting.

(2) The instrument appointing a proxy to vote at a meeting of a
building society shall be taken also to confer authority to demand or join in
demanding a poll; and for the purposes of subsection (1) a demand by a person
as proxy of a member shall be the same as a demand by the member.
