A proxy is a person who has been given a specific authority to represent another person entitled to attend and vote, in the absence and in place of the latter, at a meeting of a company in which the latter is a member/shareholder. The proxy need not be a member/shareholder of the company.
The instrument created for this purpose is also termed a 'proxy'.
While a proxy is authorized to attend and vote on questions at meetings for which a specific proxy document has been given, in some countries the person acting as proxy cannot participate in the proceedings except to vote on matters that are put to vote.
A proxy document is generally valid for a particular meeting or its adjournment, and needs to be given every time a different meeting is held.

It means that you are giving your rights of voting to some one who will vote for you.
