In 2025, one director will be elected from Districts 1, 2, 4, and 5. District 1 is a three-year term and the others are four-year terms.
Each candidate will be asked to provide biographical and background information, which is shared with members and included with voting ballots.
Here’s what to expect on your election journey!
- Fill out the nominee interest form. Our executive administrator will contact you, review the election process, and email a few forms.
- Meanwhile, read the Affidavit of Eligibility and Campaign Rules (Policy PD-19).
- After receiving 25 valid nomination signatures (check out our tips), schedule a time to visit ECE’s Braham office to sign a few forms, which we will notarize.
