We strive to provide reliable electricity while upholding the principles of fair representation. Redistricting, the process of adjusting boundaries of our six representation zones, has been a critical task for our board of directors since the February 2023 addition of 2,000 North Branch members. 

The redistricting process helps prevent scenarios where some districts become disproportionately large, leading to uneven representation. Geographic information systems and data analytics enabled us to adjust our district boundaries and ensure each member’s voice continues to be heard, especially during election season for the board of directors. Changes took effect November 1, 2023.

Townships in new districts:
District 1: Arlone, Barry, Clover, Dell Grove, Hinckley, Ogema, Sandstone
District 2: Comfort, Nessel, Rushseba, Whited
District 5: Kroschel, Millward, Pomroy, Wagner
