Investopedia explains 'Duplicate Proxy'

Issuing a duplicate proxy will retract a shareholder's earlier decision. Most firms will provide shareholders with additional proxy forms, allowing them to change their mind when voting on corporate issues. The secondary proxy should be submitted in a timely manner, or risk missing the voting process.
