VOTING INSTRUCTIONS
ALL MEMBERS
vote
Butler Rural Electric Cooperative is governed by a local board of trustees. Board members are members of the cooperative just like you — they pay the same electric rates as you and live in your community. You can vote for one candidate in each district, even if you do not live in a district up for election. Read the following pages to learn more about this year’s candidates. You can view videos of the candidates at butlerrural.coop. Members will also vote on changes to the cooperative’s code of regulations this year. The proposed changes are listed on the following pages.
Results will be announced during our virtual annual meeting April 24. Visit butlerrural. coop or call 513-867-4400 to register for the meeting. Election results will also be published in the June issue of Ohio Cooperative Living magazine and on our website.
DEADLINE TO VOTE IS APRIL 22
