House Bill 725 ensures EMCs make voting for board members more open to their members. Specifically, “In every contested election to fill a vacancy on the board of directors, an electric membership corporation shall provide members the option to vote by electronic means or by mail, or both, in addition to all other means of voting by members required in this part.” This will help ensure the open and democratic membership participation EMCs are supposed to encourage.
Update: HB 725 did not advance during the 2018 Legislative Session.
