Cooperatives are democratic entities, owned by those they serve and governed by elected representatives. In order to underscore this important cooperative principle, we offer multiple ways to cast your vote.
Vote by Mail or Drop Box
Election ballots are scheduled to be mailed to all Todd-Wadena members March 11th. The ballots will look like the sample to the right. The order of candidate names will be rotated among ballots. After marking your votes, you will be instructed to insert your completed ballot into a secret ballot envelope, and then to seal and place that envelope into the yellow, pre-stamped, pre-addressed envelope to return by mail. The ballots will be mailed directly to our election company, OSG, to tabulate. Your ballot must be received by April 16, 2024.
OR Seal your completed ballot in the appropriate envelopes and place it in the drop box located outside of Todd-Wadena Electric Cooperative’s office by 9:00 a.m. on April 8th, 2024.
NOTICE CONCERNING MAILING ENVELOPES
There are two envelopes to be returned with each ballot. One is the pre-addressed envelope to OSG, the other is the secret ballot envelope. It is very important that the ballot is first placed into the secret ballot envelope, and then that envelope is placed into the pre-addressed envelope to be mailed. If the ballots are not in a secret ballot envelope they cannot be counted as a valid vote.
