Article VIII, Sec. 2, (e) of the NRA Bylaws provides "that to receive said ballot a properly completed, fully paid application for lifetime membership must have been received by the Secretary on or before the fiftieth (50th) day prior to the Annual Meeting of Members . . .". So, if anyone has been meaning to become a Life Member, a good time to do so might be between now and March 27th (I think that's right). That way, you should be able to vote this year.

I'm still paying off my EPL, so I guess I'm not eligible yet. Ah, I always wondered how this worked. I’m still paying off my EPL, so I guess I’m not eligible yet.

You have to be qualified to vote a few weeks before the magazine goes out. I believe it's 50 days, but I'm not quite sure. I know the date is usually in February. If you convert over during that period, then you can only vote at Annual Meeting for 76th director. If you do it prior to that deadline, then it's immediate.

I just converted to Life (they hooked me from EPL with the lure of the jacket). So if you are a Life there is no time delay for voting?

Excellent post -- a good succinct summary of NRA voting was needed. Because of that, I suspect this post will be linked a lot and have a long and useful life, so I think it might be worth fixing the typos. :) It’s “eligible.”

Unfortunately, if you're flying, you may find you have to leave it behind. However, if you leave it behind with an NRA Foundation staffer, it's a tax deduction! :) The wheelbarrow will be available in Louisville.

Hell, I've yet to get my magazine. And at what point does the wheelbarrow full of cash show up?
