Cast Your Ballot for a Chance to Win
If you haven’t already, you should receive the Petit Jean Electric Cooperative Annual Report and ballot for the election of two directors soon. Please take the time to vote and return the ballot to the co-op in the small envelope provided.
Secret Ballot
To ensure secret balloting, we enclose with the Annual Meeting material a small envelope in which to place the ballot once it has been removed. This small envelope contains no identifying marks of any kind to indicate who returned it. This small envelope is to be placed inside the envelope containing the member’s name and address and returned to Petit Jean Electric Cooperative. A ballot-counting committee removes the small envelope (unopened) from the one containing the name and address label. The two envelopes are completely separated before the ballots are removed, and the votes are counted by the committee.
Enter Our Prize Drawing
Each member returning a ballot in the proper envelope, without altering the name and address label affixed to it in any way, will automatically be entered in our prize drawing. We will award two prizes this year — one from District 5 and one “at large” (or systemwide).
Nominating Committee Report
The Nominating Committee met on March 27 and made its nominations for the directors’ positions to be filled this year.

Our bylaws provide for directors to be nominated by either the Nominating Committee or by member petition. If any other qualified submissions are made prior to the deadline, the names of those candidates will appear on the ballot along with those listed here.
