How to Vote

You can vote electronically or by mail.

3 ways to vote electronically

Voting electronically saves paper and money! The electronic election opens  April 19, 2024 at 8 a.m.  Any member can choose to vote electronically (regardless of whether you opted out of your paper ballot or not) by using one of the following methods.

(Only one vote per member will count. If more than one vote is received, both votes will be invalidated. Do not vote online if you plan to mail your ballot.)


1. Emailed Ballot – if you have an email address associated with your online account, you will receive an email with a direct link to your ballot on April 19, 2024 from “FEC Election Coordinator.”  This link will be unique to you and will not require a login or password.

2. My Co-op App – when you log into your My Co-op app, you will see a “Vote Now” button when the election is open. Since you are logged into your app, you will not be required to provide any credentials to access your ballot and vote.

3. Your Co-op’s Website – you can access your ballot via our third-party vendor. To vote, you will need to prove your identity by providing your member number and an election passcode. The election passcode can be found on your paper ballot or email.
