Ready to vote for your board of directors?

It’s time to vote for your board of directors and mark your calendars for the Noble REMC Annual Meeting! 

HOW TO VOTE 

All Noble REMC members will receive a ballot in the mail in mid-May. You can mark your vote, approve your 2024 Annual Meeting Minutes, tear off the ballot on the perforation and send it back in the prepaid return envelope. 

Ballots must be postmarked by June 4 to be counted in this year’s election. 

Though Noble REMC has no contested races this year, it’s still important to vote to ensure we reach the quorum that allows our cooperative to continue to run smoothly and efficiently.
