ELECTORAL COLLEGE. It uses a post-ballot process analogous to the electoral college. The difference between it and the electoral college is that proxies (electors) are personally elected, it is their names which are on a ballot, not the names of candidates which they might support. (The ballot might be quite long; however, ballots might be regional even in a large-scale election, and only one proxy is named.)

REGISTRATION OF PROXIES. Prior to an election, persons willing to serve as proxies register. By registration, they agree to accept proxy assignments from the public. As part of this registration, they provide a means for the public to identify and communicate with them.
