Bandera Electric Cooperative’s annual Board of Directors election opens on September 18, 2026 at 8 AM and will close on October 16, 2026 at 11am. This year, elections will be held for Districts 1, 2, and 3. Districts 1 and 2 are uncontested, while District 3 will have two candidates on the ballot.
We want to remind all members that every BEC member has the right to vote in all three district elections, regardless of the district in which they reside. Your participation helps ensure fair and representative leadership for the entire cooperative.
As a member-owned cooperative, BEC thrives on democratic participation. Your vote affirms the integrity and transparency of our governance process. Even in uncontested elections, casting your vote is a powerful way to stay engaged and invested in your co-op’s direction.
By modernizing our election process, BEC is taking another step toward cost savings, convenience, and a stronger member experience. We thank you for your continued participation in our cooperative’s democratic process.
