Only the members of the Grand Lodge and the representatives of Texas Lodges are entitled to vote at the Grand Annual Communication.
The "members of the Grand Lodge" are Texas Past Masters.
The "representatives" of the Lodges are those who are sent to Grand Lodge by their Lodges, under certain qualifications.
If the Worshipful Master of the Lodge is present, he casts the vote of the Lodge.
If the Senior Warden is present & the WM is not, the SW casts the vote.
If the JW is present & neither the WM or SW is present, the JW casts the vote.
If none of those officers are present but there is present a member of that Lodge who was elected to hold the Lodge's proxy, that Brother casts the Lodge's vote.
