Ratification differs from an election. You're not selecting between candidates; rather, each individual presented for council service merits consideration on their own terms. You have the freedom to vote 'yes' for all, 'no' for all, or any combination thereof.
I hereby instruct my proxy to vote on the following resolutions as per my preferences outlined below. In the event of no specified choice, I authorize my proxy to exercise their judgment and either vote or abstain accordingly. Furthermore, I grant my proxy the authority to vote (or abstain) as they deem appropriate on any other matters properly brought forth during the meeting.
