At Prairie Land Electric, your voice matters. Since 1938, we’ve been owned and governed by members like you. Your vote in our annual board election is your voice in your cooperative, a chance to weigh in on leaders who will represent you and your interests.
Please vote in the trustee election each year. Details for the upcoming election are below. If you have further questions, please call our headquarters at 785-877-3323 or 800-577-3323.
As outlined in the Cooperative’s Bylaws, a Nominating Committee will meet in our Norton office in December before the election year and select the candidates to run for the trustee election positions.
Per Cooperative’s Bylaws, nominations may also be made by petition. Interested candidates may contact the Norton office to request the appropriate form. The petition must be signed by not less than twenty-five (25) members of the district for whom the Trustee is to be elected. Petitions need to be delivered to our Norton office by 5:00PM on January 10, 2026. All nominations shall be posted in the Norton and Concordia offices.
The election shall be conducted on an “at large” basis; therefore every member of Prairie Land Electric is eligible to vote for all positions in the election. Upon completion of the nominating process, voting materials will be mailed to Prairie Land members by January 23, 2026. The Bylaws, as amended, require the use of mail ballots for Trustee elections. Ballots and a postage paid return envelope will be furnished for the member to use.
Ballots must be returned to the Norton office by 5:00PM on Tuesday, February 10, 2026.
An Election and Credentials committee will count the ballots by February 20th and the election results will then be announced.
