2000 District Election Procedures For District Committees And District Nominating Committees

Regular Election

1. Each NASD Regulation District shall maintain a District Nominating Committee in the manner specified in Article VIII of the By-Laws of NASD Regulation, Inc.
2. The Secretary of NASD Regulation, Inc. ("the Corporation") will notify in writing the Chairman of each District Committee and the Chairman of the District Nominating Committee of the upcoming vacancies on both the District Committee and the District Nominating Committee, and the procedures to follow to fill the vacancies. A copy of these letters will be provided to the District Directors.
The District Nominating Committee will be provided by Corporation staff with information considered relevant to the nominating process, including analytical data pertaining to the District membership.
3. The Secretary of NASD Regulation and the Membership Department will e-mail a reminder to all members of their responsibility and obligation to keep current and accurate information on their Executive Representatives and branch office addresses. The e-mail will contain a reference to the NASDRSM Web Site (www.nasdr.com) and detail the process for changing a firm's Executive Representative. This e-mail will note that failure to keep this information accurate may jeopardize the member's ability to participate in District elections as well as other member votes.
4. The Secretary of the Corporation on behalf of the District Committee Chairman will send a Notice to Members announcing the forthcoming elections to the Executive Representative and each branch office of all members eligible to vote in that District. The Notice to Members will contain: a) the number of vacancies for each District; and b) the remaining members of each District Committee. Members interested in serving on the District Committee or District Nominating Committee will be requested to complete the candidate profile sheet and submit it to the District Nominating Committee Chairman or the District Director. The completed candidate profile sheet will be provided to all Nominating Committee members for review.
5. The District Nominating Committee will endeavor to secure fair representation of the membership within the District on the District Committee. One small firm member of each District Committee will serve a one-year term on the Small Firm Advisory Board.
6. The District Nominating Committee will review the background and qualifications of the proposed candidates and the District profile information provided by Corporation staff, and will determine its slate of candidates for the election.
7. The District Nominating Committee will certify to the District Committee each candidate nominated by the District Nominating Committee.
8. Within five (5) calendar days after this certification, a Notice to Members shall be sent to Executive Representatives, communicating the nominees for the vacancies on the District Committees.
9. If an officer, director, or employee of an NASD member is interested in being considered as an additional candidate, he/she must indicate his/her interest to the District Director within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of the Notice to Members referenced in #8 above. The District Director shall make a written record of the time and date of such notification and the process will continue as described in #10 - #12.
If an additional candidate does not come forward within 14 days, the election of committee members is complete.
10. Additional candidate(s) may be nominated if a petition signed by the Executive Representative of at least 10 percent of the members eligible to vote in the District is filed with the District Nominating Committee within 30 calendar days from the mailing date of the Notice to Members referenced in #8 on the previous page, unless the Secretary of NASD Regulation grants additional time for good cause shown.
11. If no additional candidate(s) are nominated within the 30-calendar day period, then the candidates nominated by the District Nominating Committee shall be considered duly elected, and the District Committee shall certify the election to the Board of Directors of NASD Regulation.
12. If any additional candidate(s) are nominated, the procedures outlined in the Contested Election Procedures will apply.

Additional information pertaining to the District Election Procedures can be found in Article VIII of the By-Laws of NASD Regulation.
