PROXY STATEMENT
Relating to
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
to be held on June 7, 2002

INTRODUCTION

This Proxy Statement is being furnished by the Board of Directors of Electronic Systems Technology, Inc. a Washington corporation (the "Corporation"), to holders of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock ("Common Stock") in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Corporation to be held on Friday, June 7, 2002 and any adjournment or adjournments thereof (the "Annual Meeting") for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of the Annual Meeting.  This Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders on or about May 3, 2002.  The Annual Report of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2001 was mailed to stockholders prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement. Such Annual Report does not form any part of the material for solicitation of proxies.

PURPOSES OF ANNUAL MEETING

Election of Director

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders entitled to vote (see "Voting at Annual Meeting") will be asked to consider and take action on the election of a director to the Corporation's Board of Directors to serve for a three year term.  See "Election of Director."

Ratification of Auditors

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to ratify the selection of Moe O'Shaughnessy & Associates, P.S. as independent auditors of the Corporation for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.  See "Approval of Auditors."

Other Business

To transact other matters as may properly come before the annual meeting, postponement(s) or any adjournment(s) thereof.

VOTING AT ANNUAL MEETING

General

The close of business on the Record Date of April 22, 2002 has been fixed as the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting (the "Record Date"). As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding 5,093,667 shares of Common Stock entitled to vote. A majority of such shares will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. The holders of record on the Record Date of the shares entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting are entitled to cast one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at the Annual Meeting. All action proposed herein may be taken upon a favorable vote of the holders of a majority of such shares of Common Stock represented at the Annual Meeting provided a quorum is present at the meeting in person or by proxy.

 

 

Proxies

Shares of Common Stock which are entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting and which are represented by properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxies.  If no instructions are indicated, such shares will be voted: (1) FOR election of Tom L. Kirchner to the Corporation's Board of Directors, (2) FOR the ratification of the selection of independent auditors; (3) AT the discretion of the proxy holder, any other matters which may properly come before the Annual Meeting.  A shareholder who has executed and returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by executing and returning a proxy bearing a later date, by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Corporation, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. A proxy is not revoked by the death or incompetence of the maker unless, before the authority granted thereunder is exercised, written notice of such death or incompetence is received by the Corporation from the executor or administrator of the estate or from a fiduciary having control of the shares represented by such proxy.

The indication of an abstention on a proxy or the failure to vote either by proxy or in person will be treated as neither a vote "for" nor "against" the election of any director. Each of the other matters must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote. Abstention from voting will have the practical effect of voting against these matters since it is one less vote for approval. Broker non-votes, shares held by brokers or nominees for the accounts of others as to which voting instructions have not been given, will be treated as shares that are present for determining a quorum, but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast with respect to a proposal. Brokers and nominees, under applicable law, may vote shares for which no instructions have been given in their discretion in the election of directors.

The Corporation will bear all the costs and expenses relating to the solicitation of proxies, including the costs of preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and accompanying material to shareholders.  In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mails, the directors, officers, and employees of the Corporation, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies personally or by telephone or telegram.

1. ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

It is intended that the proxies solicited hereby will be voted for election of the nominee for director listed below, unless authority to do so has been withheld. The Board of Directors knows of no reason why its nominee will be unable to accept election. However, if a nominee becomes unable to accept election, the Board will either reduce the number of directors to be elected or select a substitute nominee. If a substitute nominee is selected, proxies will be voted in favor of such nominee.

The Board of Directors is divided into three classes, with the terms of office of each class ending in successive years. The terms of directors of Class II expire with the 2004 Annual Meeting, Annual Meeting, terms of directors of Class III expire with the 2002 Annual Meeting, and the terms of directors of Class I expire with the 2003.
