I’ve been told that between 10 & 15 precinct chairs have assigned proxies to their vice chairs to vote in their absence this Saturday. Once the list is confirmed, the Indiana Republican Party will distribute the list to the candidates.

Here are the rules for assigning a proxy.

IC 3-13-1-11.5
Voting by proxy
Sec. 11.5. (a) Except as provided in this section, voting by proxy is not permitted in a caucus called under section 7 of this chapter.
(b) A precinct vice committeeman is entitled to participate in a caucus called under section 7 of this chapter and vote as a proxy for the vice committeeman’s precinct committeeman if all of the following apply:
(1) The vice committeeman’s precinct committeeman is otherwise eligible to participate in the caucus under this chapter.
(2) The vice committeeman’s precinct committeeman is not present at the caucus.
(3) The vice committeeman is eligible under this section.
(c) The vice committeeman of an elected precinct committeeman is eligible to participate in a caucus called under section 7 of this chapter and vote the precinct committeeman’s proxy, regardless of when the ballot vacancy occurred, if the vice committeeman was the vice committeeman five (5) days before the date of the caucus.
(d) If a vice committeeman is not eligible under subsection (c), the vice committeeman is eligible to participate in a caucus called under section 7 of this chapter and vote the precinct committeeman’s proxy only if the vice committeeman was the vice committeeman thirty (30) days before the ballot vacancy occurred.
As added by P.L.26-2000, SEC.25.
