About the 2026 Board Election

This year, the Seward Co-op Board of Directors election begins on Monday, Sept. 28 and will end at 11:59pm on Sunday, Oct. 25. Only Seward Co-op owners may be candidates, and all Seward Co-op owners may cast one ballot per owner number.

2026 Election Details

There are three at-large seats open. All have a three-year term. The designated employee director seat is not up for election in 2026.

The co-op’s articles and bylaws allow up to two seats to be filled by current employees. Two employees are currently on the board. This means no more employees are able to run in this year’s election.

Online voting for Seward Co-op’s Board of Directors will be open from Monday, Sept. 28 through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 25. To receive an online ballot, please update your email address by emailing cs@seward.coop, or at a customer service kiosk at one of our stores. Paper ballots will be accepted at either co-op location or can be mailed, but they must be received by Sunday, Oct. 26. We’ll announce election results at our Annual Owner Meeting on Monday, Oct. 26.
