At Kankakee Valley REMC, the individuals that we serve are more than just people who purchase power, they are members. As member-consumers, they have a voice in the cooperative’s leadership through the election of the board of directors. Each member-consumer is represented equally and has one vote in cooperative elections.
Board Election Timeline
The election process for the Kankakee Valley REMC Board of Directors begins on August 21, when online voting opens for members. Online voting remains available through September 22. After online voting closes, ballots may only be cast in person at the Member Appreciation Day & Annual Business Meeting.
Only member-consumers who have completed all requirements to run for a board position will appear on the ballot. Votes are tabulated during the annual meeting on September 24, and election results are announced following the count.
This year the membership will be selecting a director for District 4 and an At-Large seat. Regardless of the district you reside in, you are eligible to vote in the election. To learn more about the candidates on the ballot, visit https://www.kvremc.com/news-releases/meet-your-director-candidates/.
