May 1, 2006 / Approximate Date of mailing to Stockholders

IMPORTANT:  Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, please execute and return the enclosed proxy.  A return envelope is enclosed for your convenience.  Prompt return of the proxy will assure a quorum and save the Corporation unnecessary expense.  At least ten (10) days before the meeting of stockholders, a complete record of the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting, or any adjournment thereof, will be on file at the place of business of the Corporation at 415 N. Quay St., Bldg B1, Kennewick, Washington 99336, and shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting.  During all times referred to above, the records shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder for the purposes of the meeting.

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 2, 2006, Pacific time, 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 1, 2006.  The Annual Report of the Corporation for the year ending December 31, 2005 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.

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 Melvin Brown, Jon Correio and Robert Southworth as directors to the Corporation's Board of Directors to serve for a three year term.  See "Election of Directors."

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to ratify the selection of Moe O’Shaughnessy & Associates, P.S. as independent auditor and tax service provider for the Corporation for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.  See "Approval of Auditors."

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

The close of business on the Record Date of April 24, 2006 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 5,153,667 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.

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, assuming a quorum is present. 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.

It is intended that the proxies solicited hereby will be voted for election of the nominees for directors listed below, unless authority to do so has been withheld. The Board of Directors knows of no reason why its nominees 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 current directors of Class I expire with the 2006 Annual Meeting, terms of current directors of Class II expire with the 2007 Annual Meeting, and the terms of current directors in Class III expire with the 2008 Annual Meeting.

Code of Ethics

On June 2, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics for the Company. The Code of Ethics is attached to the Company’s Annual Report.

There is no Compensation or Nominating Committee. The Board has established an Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors as of December 31, 2005 is comprised of Robert Southworth (Chairman), Melvin Brown and John Schooley and it operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, a copy of which is included in the proxy statement as Appendix I. Mr. Brown is considered to be a non-independent member of the Audit Committee, however his serving on the Audit Committee was deemed by the Board to be in the best interest of the Corporation due to Mr. Brown’s experience and familiarity with the Corporation. The Board of Directors has determined that none of the audit committee members can be classified as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B. The Board of Directors does not contain a member that can be classified as an "audit committee financial expert" under the referenced definition. The Board of Directors believes that attracting and retaining at least one audit committee member that could be classified as an "audit committee financial expert" is unlikely due to the high cost of such Director candidates.

The Audit Committee’s report for the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix II. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 added a number of provisions to Federal law to strengthen the authority of, and increase the responsibility of, corporate audit committees. In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Audit Committee has ultimate authority and responsibility to select, compensate, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace the Corporation’s independent auditors. The Audit Committee members are not professional accountants or auditors and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of Management and the independent auditors, nor can the Audit Committee certify that the independent auditors are "independent" under applicable rules. The Audit Committee serves as a board-level oversight, in which it provides advice, counsel and direction to Management and the auditors on the basis of the information it receives, discussion with Management and the auditors, and the experience of the Audit Committee’s members in business and financial matters.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Corporation contracted for services from Manufacturing Services, Inc. in the amount of $146,421. Manufacturing Services, Inc. is owned and operated by Melvin H. Brown, who is a Director of Electronic Systems Technology, Inc. Management believes all prices for services, provided by Manufacturing Services, Inc., were as favorable as could be obtained from comparable manufacturing services companies.

Director compensation is limited to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that are incurred in connection with the directors duties associated with the Corporation's business.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company paid Moe O’Shaughnessy & Associates, P.S., in the amount of $34,076 for audit and non-audit professional services. The Company incurred no fees for financial information systems design and implementation during 2005.

The following table presents fees billed to us during 2005 and 2004, for professional services provided by Moe O'Shaughnessy & Associates P.S.

(1) Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services provided in connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements and reviews of our quarterly financial statements.

(2) Audit-related fees consist of assurance and related services that include, but are not limited to, internal control reviews, attest services not required by statute or regulation and consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.

(3) Tax fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. These services include preparation of federal income tax returns.

(4) All other fees consist of fees billed for products and services other than the services reported above.

The Company’s Audit Committee reviewed the audit and tax services rendered by Moe O'Shaughnessy & Associates P.S. and concluded that such services were compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence. All audit, non-audit, tax services, and other services performed by the Company’s independent accountants are pre-approved by the Company’s Audit Committee to assure that such services do not impair the auditors’ independence from the Company.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires that the Company’s directors, executive officers, and the holders of 10% or more of the Company’s common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors, and stockholders holding more than 10% of the Company’s common stock are required by the Regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they have filed.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, to the knowledge of Management, there was no director, officer, or beneficial owner of more than 10% any class of equity securities of the registrant who failed to file on a timely basis the required disclosure form as required by Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

The Corporation's next annual meeting is scheduled for June 1, 2007. A Stockholder who desires to have a qualified proposal considered for inclusion in the Proxy Statement for that meeting must notify the Secretary of the terms and content of the proposal no later than March 9, 2007. The Corporation's By-Laws outline the procedures including notice provisions, for stockholder nomination of directors and other stockholder business to be brought before stockholders at the Annual Meeting. At the time of submission of such proposal a stockholder must have been of record or beneficial owner of at least 1% of the outstanding shares or $1,000 worth of stock in the Corporation, and have held such stock for at least one year and through the date on which the meeting is held. A copy of the pertinent By-Law provisions are available upon written request to Jon Correio, Secretary, Electronic Systems Technology, Inc., 415 North Quay Street, Building B1, Kennewick, Washington 99336.

Any shareholder of record may obtain a copy of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (the "Form 10-KSB"), without cost, upon written request to the Secretary of the Corporation.
