Board of Director Elections
As a member of People's Energy Cooperative, you have a voice in how your cooperative is governed and who represents you on the Board of Directors. We encourage you to participate in this year's Board of Director Elections.
During the last week of February 2025, members will receive information in their mailbox on how to participate in the Board of Director Elections. Every member will receive a paper ballot with directions on how to cast their vote either by paper ballot or online. For members with current email addresses on file, an email will be sent from "People's Energy Cooperative Election Coordinator" at noreply@directvote.net with a direct link to vote. Members who utilize SmartHub will also have access to a direct link to vote.
The voting link will be "live" and open for voting on February 24, 2025. Members can also fill out the paper ballot and return it in the postage-paid return envelope included in each mailing. Ballots, both online and mailed via the USPS, must be received by March 26 at 10:30 a.m. CST. Members can also return ballots in person at the Annual Meeting on March 27, 2025.
