Trustee Election

During the annual meeting to be held on April 17, 2021, NWEC member-owners will have the opportunity to vote for a trustee for District 1. You do not need to reside in District 1 to vote. No nominating petitions were received for District 2, therefore the incumbent, Mitchel Headley, has been elected by affirmation and will not appear on the official ballot.

Member-owners have two ways to vote this year, either by attending the drive-thru event on April 17th or by using your secure SmartHub account from March 19th to April 16th at noon. You must choose only ONE of those options.

4/12/21 - IMPORTANT NOTICE:  The online voting option in the SmartHub app is temporarily unavailable due to technical issues. We are working with our customer management company to resolve the problem and will update everyone as soon as we have more information. Voting will still be available this coming Saturday by bringing the paper ballot that you received in the mail to our office, anytime from 9 a.m. to noon, on that day. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

 

Qualified NWEC member-owners must be present to vote. Proxy votes will not be accepted. A member, as stated in the NWEC Code of Regulations, Article1, Section 1 is defined as the person who made a written application for membership, agreed to purchase electric power and energy from the Cooperative, and agreed to comply with and be bound by the Articles of Incorporation, Code of Regulations and rules and regulations of the Cooperative and any policies adopted by the Board of Trustees. NWEC does not accept joint membership applications.

In connection with the election of one trustee scheduled for the annual meeting to be held on April 17, 2021, the Election Committee has determined the following candidates are eligible to be placed on the ballot.
