An evergreen proxy is a type of proxy vote that lasts indefinitely until the member revokes it. Many proxies last only a year, or for a specific election, but this option allows board members or representatives to indefinitely cast votes for members. Evergreen proxies are often used to ensure consistent participation, but they can disengage voters and carry some risk of misuse.
