Subject: File No. SR-NYSE-2024-35
From: Travis McMillian

It has come to my attention from an investor letter from SABA Capital, that the NYSE is currently trying to push through a proposal to eliminate annual elections so that CEF trustees can serve unchecked for life without any recourse for investors. Regular elections for stock and other product positions is relevant for some of the same reasons we hold elections for Congressional and other political offices. It is a way for investors to have a voice in holding trustees or board members accountable for their actions regarding the products we invest in. Without that voice, CEFs can become dividend traps, echo chambers, and worse, with no accountability for those responsible for bad financial decisions. I would like to urge the SEC to ensure that regular elections remain a part of CEF products. Thank you for your time.
