Electric co-ops are democratically controlled by the members we serve, which means you have a say in who governs our co-op. By voting in the annual trustee election, you can weigh in on the leaders who will make important decisions about the future of CHELCO and our local energy needs.

CHELCO’s board of trustees are community-minded individuals with different skill sets. We rely on them to help us make more informed decisions on long-term priorities and investments. CHELCO has nine trustees who live in the co-op’s service area. We consider them the eyes and ears of the community because they provide their unique perspective on various local issues.

In 2025, members will elect trustees representing Districts 2, 4 and 6 through mail-in balloting. All members may vote for each district regardless of their membership district. Results will be announced at the CHELCO Annual Meeting on April 12 at Freeport High School.
