PEC received the election results from Survey & Ballot Systems (SBS), a third-party administrator who handles the election ballots.
A total of 16,342 votes were cast across all districts according to the results from SBS. District 4 reelected Cox to continue representing them with 4,555 votes. Oakley received 3,770 votes to continue serving District 5. Director Cox has served the cooperative since 2020 and Oakley since 2013. Both Cox and Oakley will serve three-year terms.
