fulltrúalisti

Fulltrúalisti is a term used in Icelandic to refer to a list of delegates or proxies authorized to represent others in decisions or votes. The word combines fulltrúi, meaning representative or proxy, with listi, meaning list. In practice, a fulltrúalisti may be used by political parties, labor unions, associations, or corporate bodies to designate who may cast votes on behalf of members who are not present.

A fulltrúalisti typically specifies the individuals chosen to vote, any alternates, and the scope and duration of the authority. It may accompany bylaws or meeting procedures and can determine voting power in certain elections or at assemblies. The process of creating or updating a fulltrúalisti varies by organization and is often governed by internal rules or applicable law.

Legally and practically, proxy lists aim to facilitate participation and efficiency in large groups. They can enable members to influence outcomes despite absence, but they also raise concerns about accountability, representation, and potential abuse. Organizations may limit the number of proxies per member, require disclosure of interests, or provide mechanisms to verify proxies.
