A quorum shall consist of the larger of ten members or the number of members specified by either the certificate of incorporation or bylaws. In all meetings of members, each member of the insurer shall be entitled to one vote, or a number of votes based upon insurance in force, the number of policies held, or the amount of premiums paid as provided in the bylaws of the insurer. Votes by proxy may be received in accordance with the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws. The date of the annual meeting shall be stated in the policy, or notice of the date and location of the annual meeting shall be provided annually.
