York Electric’s 2024 Annual Meeting took place on Wednesday, May 1, 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., Friday, May 3, 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., and Saturday, May 4, 9 a.m. until noon. Our virtual business meeting followed Saturday’s portion of the annual meeting and our co-op leadership shared the official election results and announced this year’s grand prize and door prize winners.
As your co-op, we appreciate the opportunity that every annual meeting provides—our registration and voting process offers members a convenient way to express the value of their membership. We were thrilled that more members attended our 2024 Annual Meeting than ever before, outpacing last year’s previous record. Thank you for joining us in celebrating our 83rd year of serving you. Check out some of our favorite moments!
For the second year, we offered a Fort Mill drive-thru option, located at Catawba Park, to accommodate our growing membership. We were pleased with the results: 1,363 members attended on Wednesday, May 1 to cast their votes for our Board of Directors elections. Above all else, we want to ensure that our annual meeting remains convenient and accessible to you. We will continue to offer a second annual meeting location for our Fort Mill and Lancaster members.
During our three-day drive-thru event, we registered 5,354 members, who voted on two uncontested board seats and two contested board seats. The results, compiled by York County Voter Registration and Elections, are as follows:
Uncontested Director Districts 2024
- District #1 (3-Year Term) Carolyn Boyd (Incumbent)
- District #2 (3-Year Term) Tommie Bratton (Incumbent)

After the official election results, please help us welcome Carolyn Boyd, Tommie Bratton and Richard Roach, who will serve three-year terms as YEC trustees. Kevin Tolson will also be welcomed to the board to serve a one-year term to fill the vacant seat in District 2 and will seek reelection at the 2025 annual meeting.
