AgriBank Director Elections
AgriBank Director Elections
How the Election Process Works
AgriBank board seats and director elections are organized by zone, as shown on the accompanying map. Each zone has at least one seat up for election each year. Every zone has five seats on the AgriBank board. To be eligible to run for the AgriBank board, candidates must do business with a Farm Credit Association in the zone in which they plan to run.
The candidate with the most votes in a given zone wins. In a zone where more than one position is up for election in a given cycle, the top-two vote winners are elected to the board. There is no requirement that the winning candidate secure a majority of votes in the zone.
