It’s time to choose: Members nominate trustee candidates at District Meetings Kiamichi Electric will hold District Meetings on Aug. 4 for members in Districts 2, 4 and 6. The meetings will be held at the following locations: • District 2: First Baptist Church, Talihina, 6 p.m. • District 4: Highway 9 Community Center, Longtown, 10 a.m. • District 6: High Hill Baptist Church, 6 p.m. District Meetings provide an important format for members to get involved by choosing their trustee. Candidates for trustee may be nominated at the meeting. To run for office, a candidate must meet the qualifications listed in the KEC bylaws. If more than one candidate is nominated, an election will take place at the meeting. To hold an election, at least 10 percent of the members in the district must be present at the meeting. Without a quorum,
the incumbent trustee will retain the position for another two-year term. If you aren’t sure which district you live in, please refer to the map below, or call KEC at 800-888-2731. Members living in Districts 2, 4 and 6 will receive an official meeting notice in the mail.
