ATTENTION NC REALTORS® MEMBERS Important Information Regarding Election of 2014 Officers

The elections of the North Carolina Association of REALTORS® for 2014 Officers, NAR Directors and Issues Mobilization Committee members will be held August 26-29, 2013.

Please review the following information and take the appropriate action if needed: w As approved by the Board of Directors, the electronic method of voting is the ONLY means by which voters may vote in the Annual Election. As outlined in NC REALTORS® Electronic Voting Policy, an NC REALTORS® member is entitled to vote if he/she: (1) is eligible under the NCAR bylaws to vote in the Annual Election; (2) has provided NCAR with a valid, unique email address; and (3) has not notified NCAR that he/she no longer wishes to receive email messages from NCAR. w Eligible voters will use the same login and password that is used to access the NC REALTORS® website or forms (email and NRDS number). There are some real estate team members who use the same email address and such is recorded in our NRDS system. Please note that the voting system will only allow an email address and NRDS number to be used once. w All eligible voting members must have a current, unique email address in the NC REALTORS® (NRDS) system. Please contact your local REALTOR® Association to update your email address by July 24 to allow adequate time for reporting of changes to NCAR. All eligible voter information will be submitted to our voting service on July 31. Members whose information has not been entered into the database by that time will not be able to vote. w Many members have taken measures to prevent junk emails and have indicated in their member record through the local REALTOR® Association that they do not wish to receive emails from the NC Association of REALTORS®. Members who have asked for their member record to be marked as such will be unable to vote because their information will not be included in the information sent to our voting service provider. w Members without an email address on file with the association or those who have asked that emails be blocked from the NC Association of REALTORS® will NOT receive any election information by any other method of communication, such as mail or facsimile. w If assistance is needed with voting, NC Association of REALTORS® staff will be available during business hours, 8:30 am -5:00 pm. w Election results will be announced at the general membership meeting of the NC REALTORS® Annual Convention in Asheville, North Carolina, on September 15, and will be posted on www.ncrealtors.org the following day.

When the election begins, you may access the ballot through our website at www.ncrealtors.org and click on the “VOTE ” button on our home page. Online Polls will be open 24 hours a day, Eastern Standard Time, from 12:00:01 A.M. on Monday, AUGUST 26, 2013, to 11:59:59 P.M. on Thursday, AUGUST 29, 2013.
