The nominees for election to the NRA Board in 2019 have been selected by the Nominating Committee and/or by petition of the membership.

The Board consists of 76 Directors. The terms of office of one-third of the 75 Directors expire at each Annual Meeting of Members. One Director is elected for a one-year term at each Annual Meeting of Members. That Director is selected from only those candidates who were not elected by the mail ballot.

The 2019 election will fill the 25 three-year terms that expire in 2022 and two one-year terms that opened up due to resignations and that expire in 2020. Voting members will be asked to vote for a total of 27 candidates.  The 25 candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be elected to three-year terms and the two receiving the next highest number of votes will each be elected to one-year terms.
