ELECTIONS Raise your voice

Co-op nomination and voting process for the annual trustee election

In 2023, Logan County Electric Cooperative members will vote for trustees from districts 2 and 3 to represent them on the co-op’s board. This position holds great responsibility and requires men and women who understand the cooperative business model and the members’ needs. The trustee’s decisions will affect issues such as company policies, electric distribution rates, and work plans.

The board is a democratically elected body of members, nominated and voted into position by members who choose to participate in the trustee elections.

As a member of the co-op, you have the opportunity to express your voice by voting for which members will represent you on the board of trustees. This voting process ensures democratic member control, and makes each elected trustee accountable to the membership.

Would you consider participating in the 2023 election and raise your voice in choosing who will represent you on the board?
