Dakota Electric Association will hold its Annual Meeting on Thursday, April 8, at St. Michael’s Catholic Church social hall at 22120 Denmark Ave., Farmington (next to Dakota Electric’s office). The meeting begins at 7 p.m.; doors open at 6 p.m., and refreshments will be served before the meeting.
Dakota Electric members will have the opportunity to hear reports from officers and directors, ask questions and hear election results at the meeting.
Balloting materials will be mailed on March 23. Members are to return ballots — using the enclosed postage-paid envelope — to Survey and Ballot Systems, or vote online using the e-signature included with their ballots no later than noon on April 8.
Ballots should not be dropped off nor mailed to Dakota Electric Association’s office. Also, if a person chooses to vote at the annual meeting, they must bring their ballot because no replacement ballots will be provided.
