This article examines the permissibility of proxy voting during decision-making body meetings in trade unions. The analysis concludes that de lege lata, proxy participation and voting are legally admissible unless explicitly prohib­ited by the union’s statutes. However, the study highlights that the excessive use of proxy mechanisms risks enabling small, concentrated groups to dominate decision-making processes, thereby undermining internal union democra­cy. Furthermore, the article explores the potential of elec­tronic communication tools as an alternative to traditional proxy practices. Such digital solutions could enhance ac­cessibility and engagement of rank-and-file union mem­bers who are unable to attend meetings in person, foster­ing broader participation and strengthening democratic governance within labor organizations.
