Board of Director Elections

As a member-owner of People's Energy Cooperative, you have a say in how your cooperative is governed as outlined in the second cooperative principle - Democratic Member Control.  By participating in this year's Board of Directors election, you help set priorities, guide investments, and strengthen the services that power homes, businesses, and communities.  Your ballot is more than a vote; it's your voice shaping our shared future.

During the last week of February 2026, 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.

Ballots, both online and mailed via the USPS, must be received by March 25 at 10:30 a.m. CST.  Members can return ballots in person at the Annual Meeting on March 26. 2026.
