terms ending in 2003. A total of 126,076 ballots (9.7%) were cast

elected. None of the “do not vote for” nominees were
successful.
A total of 2,429 ballots included write-in votes or a combination
of write-in votes and votes for candidates on the printed ballot.
In no instance did a write-in candidate receive as many votes
as any candidate on the printed ballot. Michael J. Slavonic Jr.
received 631 write-in votes and Louise Mandrell received 627.
Both candidates received in excess of the necessary 250 write-in
votes required by the NRA Bylaws, for inclusion on the ballot
for the one-year, 76th director position elected by the voting
members at the meeting.
Mandrell’s election to the one-year position was announced
during the annual banquet on May 20, 2000 following balloting
the same day.
