Members should have received ballots, election information and voting instructions from Survey & Ballot Systems, an independent company that manages PEC’s balloting. Completed ballots can be returned to Survey & Ballot Systems by mail using the included prepaid return envelopes, or by voting online through the company’s secure website, directvote.net/pec. Members who have registered their email addresses with PEC will receive emails from Survey & Ballot Systems with links to the online ballot. Online voting is available for members who bring their ballots to PEC’s Liberty Hill and Cedar Park offices.

The ballot also includes an opportunity for members to opt into the Power of Change program, PEC’s bill roundup program that supports area nonprofit organizations.

Members can also vote in person before the start of PEC’s annual meeting on June 17 at Leander High School’s Don Tew Performing Arts Center, 3301 S. Bagdad Road, Leander.

Election results will be announced before the conclusion of the meeting.
