Annual Meeting

2026 Annual Meeting: Saturday, April 25th

Each year in April, Escambia River Electric Cooperative (EREC) holds our annual meeting of members of the cooperative. This is a fun-filled day of activities for the entire family. The members vote in the election of trustees to the cooperative’ board, and issues concerning the cooperative are brought before the members during the business meeting. As a member of our electric cooperative, you are assured the power is in your hands.

Two Ways to Vote

Absentee Ballot: April 1 – 24
