2025 Trustee Elections

Districts 1, 2, and 3.

Voting is open! If you live in districts 1, 2, or 3, it’s your turn to nominate a representative to serve on our Board of Trustees.

Visit our Trustee Page to find your district and learn more about our board.

Voting Instructions

We mailed out paper ballots on April 18, and digital elections opened on April 25. Each member can choose to nominate using the detachable ballot and return envelope found in their letter, or through the digital form sent via email.

Our elections in district 2 and 3 were uncontested this year. This can occur when there are no new qualified candidates nominated from a district, when there is only one qualified nominee, or when nominated candidates opt not to run.

Didn’t receive an email? The email should have arrived in your inbox on Friday, April 25. If you do not see it, we may not have your correct contact information on file, or it may have gone to your spam folder. The email came from Consolidated Cooperative, via this address: noreply@electionrunner.com. Update your contact information with us and/or add that email address to your “safe senders” list to make sure you receive future election information. You can update your information on your Consolidated SmartHub account or by calling in.

Why should I participate?

As a Consolidated member, you have the right and responsibility to participate in our trustee elections and select a representative who will act in your community’s best interests.

Our trustees set the path for Consolidated’s future, and they have the final say on all strategic and budgetary decisions. They are committed to making decisions in the best interests of their districts and Consolidated’s membership as a whole, while ensuring that our co-op stays true to our founding principles.

Democratic Member Control is one of the seven guiding principles of all co-ops – it reminds us that cooperative employees are accountable to our trustees, and our trustees are accountable to our members.
