The service area of Lorain-Medina Rural Electric is divided into nine districts, each with a member elected representative. Each district has one elected candidate to represent all of the members of that district for a term of three years. Board district map and district descriptions.
Members wanting to vie for the cooperative's board of directors must submit a nominating petition bearing at least 25 signatures from their respective districts. A maximum of two candidates per district can appear on the official ballot. Should more than two district candidates submit nominating petitions, a runoff district-wide election will be conducted in May. The two candidates receiving the highest number of votes in the district will have their names placed on the official ballot. The entire membership votes on candidates through mail/electronic ballot before the annual meeting. The results of the election will be announced at the annual meeting in July. View the director nomination and election schedule.
The Board of Directors meets monthly. They are responsible for setting the cooperative's policies and rates, approving contracts, and regularly reviewing the operating performance of the cooperative and its appointed management. As representatives of the rural community, they communicate the interests of the cooperative's membership.
