As a member-owner of Farmers' Electric Cooperative, you have a say in how the Cooperative conducts business. Your participation in the Annual Meeting each year is not only beneficial to the Cooperative but to YOU!

We want to thank all members for participating in the 85th Annual Meeting, whether they voted online or drove through our warehouse on September 19! 

View the business portion of your 85th Annual Meeting!

What is Annual Meeting?


You have a VOICE and a VOTE!

Every year the Annual Meeting is held so our member-owners can listen to Cooperative leaders discuss goals and challenges and discuss the financial health and priorities of the Cooperative for the coming year. We invite you to join us for this discussion and provide us with any feedback you may have.

The Meeting is also the time to vote on important issues at the Cooperative and for new Board Members.

Meet your Board

When and Where is Annual Meeting?


*NEW LOCATION: COME TO THE CO-OP!!

This year's Annual Meeting was a drive-thru style meeting held at our Chillicothe Warehouse (201 W. Business 36) on Tuesday, September 19, 2023.

Members drove through a warehouse bay to register and vote, then exit! Members were welcome to stay for the business meeting if they chose to. Seating was available in the warehouse and parking was open around our office building.

Registration and voting: 4 - 6:15 pm

Business Meeting:  6:30 pm

Why should I go?


As a member of our communities, you have a valuable perspective, and we invite you to share it with us!

The Annual Meeting is the time to vote on important issues at the Cooperative and for new Board Members who will represent you – the members of the Cooperative.

All voting members (online or drive-thru) received a $20 BILL CREDIT!!

(*NOTE: Members who drove through on September 19 received their $20 bill credit as well as a bucket, gift, and were entered into the additional bill credit drawing.)

Drive-thru Voting


With the meeting being a drive-thru style, getting out of the vehicle will not be necessary. Members will drive their vehicles through one of our Chillicothe warehouse bays to register, vote, and collect their registration gifts all car-side.

Once members have registered and voted, they can exit! Members are welcome to stay if they wish and listen to the business meeting that will be held at the south end of our warehouse building (seating provided). Parking is available around our office building.

Staying for the business meeting portion is optional. Additional bill credit prizes will be announced the following day and election results will be published on our website and in the November Rural Missouri magazine.

PRIZE: Members who drove through to register and vote on September 19 received their $20 bill credit as well as a bucket, a gift, and they were entered into the additional bill credit drawings.

Online Voting


*NEW this year: We wanted more of our membership to have the opportunity to participate in their Annual Meeting election. Members who were unable to attend the Annual Meeting had the option to vote online prior to the Annual Meeting (September 1-17). 

Members accessed their ballot using their billing contact information. Thank you to all who chose to try this new option with us! 

PRIZE: Online voters received a $20 BILL CREDIT!
