Voting Methods & Instructions

In 2023, voters in PEC’s districts 2 and 3 will elect board directors in the annual election. As in previous years, a third-party administrator, Survey & Ballot Systems (SBS), handles the balloting process.

Members who voted early will be entered into a drawing for prizes. Learn more about our convenient voting options by clicking or tapping the icons below.
