The Board of Directors election will be facilitated by the Credentials and Elections Committee as outlined in the Cooperative's Bylaws. The Committee, which operates independent of the Tri-County Electric Cooperative Board and staff, serves the membership by functioning as the screening process for members to seek election as a director.

The Committee, which is empowered to facilitate the entire election process, serves two purposes: determine eligibility for members seeking to be on the upcoming election ballot and to rank the top candidates per eligible district.
