No, individuals with power of attorney cannot vote on behalf of someone else. Voting is a personal right that cannot be delegated to another person through a power of attorney.

Is holding proxies for a HOA for personal gain legal?

There are several assumptions in your question, which cloud any potential answer. First, that the vote at hand involves personal gain for someone involved in the vote. Second, the action of holding proxies may or may not be to vote: holding them may be to deny the vote. Third, read your governing documents to determine the use of proxies. If you are convinced that there is illegal activity involved, you can work with an association-savvy attorney to help you handle the matter. Be prepared to produce evidence of your assumptions for the attorney in order to encourage the attorney to take your case.

Does a spouse or someone with power of attorney have access to an incorporated bank account?

It really depends on how the power of attorney is written, and which powers it gives to the agent in fact. It can give the agent the power to sign for the principal in differing capacities. If the principal is a signer on a business account, then yes someone who is the POA can have access to it. However, you can't just walk into a bank and ask to have access to the account, you must bring in your POA documents and have them reviewed by the banks legal department then be formally added on to the account as POA. Keep in mind also that a POA is only valid while the principal is living, and ends when they die or revoke it.
