FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — As a Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) member-owner you have an opportunity to make your voice heard in the Cooperative’s 2026 Annual Meeting and Director Elections. Members have until 5 p.m., Friday, July 31, to designate a proxy or register to vote live during the Annual Meeting.
“As a member-owner, your participation helps shape the future of your Cooperative,” said Casey Hollins, managing director – communications and public relations at REC. “Every member-owner can vote for all three Board of Director seats on this year’s ballot, regardless of where they live within REC’s service area.”
Members with a valid email address on file should have received instructions, including a unique username and password, to designate their proxy online. You can also log in to MyREC SmartHub and click Vote Now. Paper proxy designation forms were also mailed in early July for those who wish to return their proxy by mail.“Designating a proxy is a simple, secure way to participate if you don’t plan to vote live during the Annual Meeting,” added Hollins.
REC’s 2026 Annual Meeting will be held virtually at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 5. Members who want to vote live during the meeting must register between 7 a.m. Monday, July 27, and 5 p.m. Friday, July 31.
