Official statutory text
(a) Unless the articles or bylaws prohibit or limit proxy voting, a member may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the member by:
(1) signing an appointment form either personally or by an attorney-in-fact; or
(2) by transmitting to the corporation or the corporation's duly authorized agent an appointment of proxy by electronic transmission, including telephone or e-mail.
(b) An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes.

(c) An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the member.
