This year, we will only be voting on trustee elections in District 5; there are also several proposed changes to the Code of Regulations (co-op bylaws) to prepare the co-op to provide fiber internet service. Voting closes on February 26 at 5:00 pm.
The Paulding Putnam Electric Co-op Board of Trustees consists of nine co-op members who each represent one district within the territory served by PPEC. The trustees are responsible for establishing, reviewing, and revising corporate policies to ensure that service to the PPEC membership is foremost in mind while maintaining a stable yet competitive position in the industry by setting rate structures.
Each trustee serves a three-year term and either must seek re-election again after the term or retire. Elections are held annually by the membership prior to the Annual Meeting in March. Results are announced at the Virtual Annual Meeting held on March 22 at 10 am on Facebook and YouTube.
Three board seats are up for election in 2025
Districts 2,4 and 5 are up for election in 2025, however, district 5 is the only contested seat and will be the only district to receive a ballot to vote for a trustee.
