NRA Board Election Ballot Vote
NRA Board Election Ballot Vote

Tombstone, Arizona – Ballots for the 2025 NRA Director election are arriving now, with voting open through March. In total, 28 seats are up for election, with about 50 people vying for those seats, including 2 write-in candidates. Those 28 seats represent slightly more than one-third of the 76-member Board, and this election has the potential to give “reformers” on the Board an overwhelming majority going forward.

In years past, I have recommended “Bullet Voting” in NRA elections, but that was when the reformers were an insurgency movement running one or two candidates against an entrenched establishment.

This year is very different as the reformers are the establishment, so this year, I am recommending that every eligible voter cast votes for a full slate of 28 candidates.

The easy, no fuss way to accomplish this is to look for the two-page ad in the middle of the magazine talking about NRA 2.0 Values and just vote for the people listed in that ad, including two write-in candidates to add on the back of the ballot.

NRA 2011 Board Elections

NRA Board Endorsement

Each year 25 of the 75 regular director seats comes up for election to 3-year terms along with the 76th director, who voters attending the Annual Meeting select for a one-year term.

There is little chance of any injection of new blood in this year’s election. The candidate list is a bit larger than usual, but it includes 26 incumbent directors, including the current 76th director, vying for the 25 seats. The Nominating Committee nominated all 25 of the current 3-year directors plus an additional six candidates. Additionally, six more candidates nominated exclusively by petition of the members. Historically we can expect that at least 23 of the 25 incumbents will win reelection. Since the NRA uses a cumulative total election – the 25 highest total vote getters win – the real race is always between candidates at the bottom of the list.
