So, if I understand correctly, the person holding the Proxy has permission to cast the vote as he/she sees fit.  If a Proxy is not signed, it is invalid.

In a heavily contested run for a Board position, where a Proxy vote can be counted,  and no candidates name is filled in, who decides where the vote counts.

The contested  position is for Board President.  It is a 3 member Board.  The two other Board members each prefer a different candidate.
