bylaws expressly prohibit voting by proxy. City elected officials should be made aware of this request so
that decisions can be made as to who will be the voting delegate and alternate(s).
At the Congress of Cities, the voting delegate must pick up and sign for the city's voting card at the
Credentials Booth before the Annual Business Meeting and must be present at the Annual Business
Meeting to cast the city's vote. The Credentials Booth will be open during scheduled times throughout
the Congress of Cities and Exposition.
