The Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Cooperative service territory is divided into nine districts and is governed by a nine-member board. Each year, the cooperative accepts nominations for election to three seats on the board of directors. District candidates must submit nominating petitions bearing at least 25 signatures of members residing in their district to qualify for the election. According to the LMRE Code of Regulations, if only one candidate submits a valid petition in any given district they are automatically deemed elected and no election needs to be held.


This year, two candidates submitted valid petitions for District 2 on the LMRE board of directors representing Florence Township in Erie County, and Camden, Henrietta, New Russia, and Pittsfield townships in Lorain County. Members in ALL DISTRICTS are asked to cast a ballot for one of the two candidates seeking election this year.
