Democratic member control is one of the Seven Cooperative Principles and PEC is unique among all electric cooperatives in the high level of transparency and member involvement that occurs in its board elections. PEC’s Qualifications and Elections Committee, a member-led group, verifies that the candidates listed on the ballot met the eligibility requirements in the Cooperative’s Bylaws, collected the required 50 member-petition signatures from within their voting district, reside in the district for which they are seeking to be elected, and completed all other necessary official documentation.
