Election of Representative Assemblies of OP cooperative banks

Elections of Representative Assemblies will be held in several OP cooperative banks this year. These elections are held every four years to give owner-customers of OP cooperative banks the opportunity to participate in influencing important matters.

Owner-customers have the chance to decide who sits on their OP cooperative bank’s Representative Assembly and how their own views will contribute to managing the bank’s affairs.

A good Representative Assembly is a diverse cross-section of our owner-customer community. Representative Assemblies need the participation of active owner-customers who take an interest in shared issues and have expertise of their own to contribute.

Important dates: 

  • Become an owner-customer by 31 May
  • Stand as a candidate from 21 August at 8.00 to 11 September at 16.00
  • Vote from 3 November at 8.00 to 13 November at 11.00
  • We will publish the election results on 5 December
