SMECO Begins Board Election Process

The Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative conducts its annual members’ meeting for the purpose of electing directors and voting on bylaw changes. This year’s meeting will be August 20.

In 2025, elections will be held to fill one position in Calvert, two positions in Charles, one in St. Mary’s County, and one in Prince George’s County. Ballots will be mailed, and members can vote by mail or online.

All interested candidates must complete an application online at here.

Interested members may seek a spot on the ballot in one of two ways:

• Run by nomination — Submit your candidate application to the nominating committee. The deadline is May 2, 2025.
• Run by petition — Submit a petition signed by any group of 15 or more SMECO members. The deadline is May 22, 2025.

SMECO’s Board of Directors will appoint the 2025 Nominating Committee at its March meeting. The Nominating Committee will meet in May to select candidates for the five board positions to be elected this year. Selection of Nominating Committee members complies with SMECO’s bylaws.
