The 2022 Cuivre River Electric Cooperative annual election is underway. This year’s election includes the selection of four board directors from a slate of 10 candidates across four districts. More information about the backgrounds and views of each board candidate are available here. Candidates were asked to respond to several questions and their responses have been summarized for your review. Members are eligible to select one candidate for each district. The ballot order for all candidates was drawn randomly by the Nominating Committee. An asterisk (*) next to a candidate’s name indicates that they are a current officeholder.
