(By Group 3 member banks classified as having,
on November 8, 1996, capital and surplus of less than $30 million)
To the Member Banks of the Second Federal Reserve District:
In accordance with section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, and Circular No. 10889, dated November 8, 1996, on the nomination of a class A director of this Bank for a three-year term ending December 31, 1999, there is shown on page 2 the name of the candidate nominated for such office, and by whom nominated.
To each member bank classified in Group 3 on November 8, 1996, the following are being sent with this circular:
- Ballot for use in voting for the candidate for class A director.
- Pink ballot envelope in which the ballot is to be sealed.
- Certificate envelope bearing on its face the certificate in regard to the vote.
- Addressed envelope in which all of the foregoing should be returned.
The ballot and the certificate on the certificate envelope must be executed by an officer who has been authorized to cast the vote. A list of the officers designated for this purpose by the member banks in Group 3 was contained in the above-mentioned circular dated November 8, 1996, and a similar list revised to date is contained herein. In order that the ballot may be secret, the name of the bank and the name and title of the voting officer should not be written on the ballot, but should be written only on the certificate envelope.
- The ballot should be marked.
- The marked ballot should be placed in the pink ballot envelope and that envelope sealed.
- Then the sealed pink ballot envelope should be placed within the certificate envelope, and the certificate envelope should be sealed and the certificate thereon executed.
- Then the certificate envelope containing the sealed pink ballot envelope should be returned in the enclosed addressed envelope.
The law provides that the ballot shall be cast within 15 days after receipt of the list of candidates transmitted herewith. The polls will open at 10 a.m., December 12, 1996, and will close at 12 noon on Friday, December 27, 1996, and in order to be counted as valid the ballots must be received at or before the latter time. Upon the closing of the polls the ballot box will be opened, the sealed envelopes containing the ballots will be opened, the votes counted and checked by tellers, and the results of the election announced. The candidate may, if he so desires, be present or represented on this occasion.
Because banks in Groups 1 and 2 will not vote in this election, this circular is sent to them without forms and for their information only.
