Shown as share counts, not percentages: no shares-outstanding figure has been matched to National Research Corporation for the 2024-2025 season, so there is no denominator to divide by.
Every figure above is derived from filings made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: Form N-PX, in which registered investment companies and institutional managers disclose how they voted every proxy, and Form 8-K Item 5.07, in which the company reports its own meeting results. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on 04 October 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At National Research Corporation's shareholder meeting held 2025-05-07, in the 2024-2025 proxy season, 175 asset managers reported how they voted on 5 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 953 separate fund positions. On the most widely held item on that ballot — NON-BINDING, ADVISORY VOTE ON THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS… — the proposal passed with 99% support of the votes cast (FOR divided by FOR plus AGAINST, the conventional basis for proxy support; abstentions, broker non-votes and unvoted shares are excluded because none of them took a side). Source: National Research Corporation's Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on 2025-05-12.
