I live in Idaho.
The proxy form sent out by our HOA Administrator has a requirement after completing be returned to the Administrator by a certain date, (example July 4). Our CC&R's & By Laws do not allow for having a deadline for returning of Proxy Forms. This this item has been added by who knows.
The Proxy Form has been sent to Members via U. S. Mail post marked 1 day before the Deadline return date and delivered 1 day after the Deadline return date thus it is impossible to conform to the proxy requirement of returning by specified date.
These proxies will be used by the Board to both have a Quorum and vote on certain motions at the Annual Members Meeting.
Can a Member via a point of Order or other means bring a challenge to the proxies with the goal of having them declared invalid?

I agree the Board is violating its bylaws and also, importantly, state law, Idaho statute section 30-30-513. See https://legislature.idaho.gov/statutesrules/idstat/Title30/T30CH30/SECT30-30-513/. I would immediately write the board a polite letter pointing this out. If you want a draft of this letter, ask and I will put one together. It would be best to send the letter certified mail to the manager.

Do your Bylaws require the use of Robert's Rules of Order?
