In 2009, Roughrider Electric Cooperative’s board of directors decided to offer the members the option of voting by mail. Ballots and instructions will be mailed out prior to the annual meeting. Under the bylaws no nominations are accepted from the floor at the annual meeting. A qualified member of Roughrider Electric Cooperative may become a candidate for election by being nominated by the Nominating Committee or by a petition submitted not less than 60 days before the meeting.

Mail-in ballots will only be sent to members upon request in an attempt to cut down on costs associated with sending out mail in ballots to all of the members. To request a ballot please contact Steve Hildebrand at (800) 748-5533 or shildebrand@roughriderelectric.com prior to April 20, 2012.
