South Kentucky RECC members play an active role in shaping the future direction of the co-op, reinforcing the cooperative principles of democratic member control and participation. This year, SKRECC members will have the opportunity to cast their ballots for the director seats in Districts 4 and 7.

In a move to enhance member engagement and convenience, South Kentucky RECC is adding an early online voting option for its upcoming director elections. Members may choose one of two convenient ways to cast their ballots in the director election: either online through their SKRECC SmartHub account or in-person via a drive-thru method at the co-op’s Annual Membership Days in June. Members may only cast one ballot in the election using either of these voting options. 

 

Vote Online Using Smarthub

With the introduction of online voting, members may cast their ballots with just a few clicks by using their SKRECC SmartHub account. To access the online ballot, members must log-in to their SKRECC SmartHub account via computer or SmartHub app on their smart device, click on the VOTE NOW button and follow the instructions to finish casting their ballot. Online voting begins at midnight Sunday, May 26th and ends Saturday, June 9th at midnight. Any member that wishes to vote online but who has not created a Smarthub account can do so easily by going to https://skrecc.smarthub.coop/ and clicking on REGISTER NOW.

 

Vote In-Person at Annual Membership Days

Members may also cast their ballot in person at the co-op’s annual membership days in June. Members will register at the event and once membership is confirmed, the member will securely cast his or her ballot electronically. In-person voting will occur during South Kentucky RECC’s annual membership days held at its five district offices June 11-13, 2024. The schedule is as follows: Wayne and McCreary Co offices on June 11; Russell and Clinton Co offices on June 12; and Somerset headquarters on June 13. Voting times are 7:00am to 6:00pm each day, local time.

 

By offering both online and drive-thru voting options, South Kentucky RECC is making it easier than ever for members to exercise their right to vote in director elections. This dual approach accommodates varying preferences and circumstances, ensuring that every member has a voice in selecting the leadership of the cooperative.
