High school students lead voter registration drive From Joe Arnold Louisville, KY - With the 2026 mid-term elections one year away, hundreds of new voters have been added to the rolls in Kentucky thanks to high school students participating in Co-op Champions, a program coordinated by Kentucky Electric Cooperatives, the association of all 26 electric co-ops in the commonwealth. Thirteen seniors who served as delegates on the weeklong Electric Cooperative Washington Youth Tour this summer, including Hunter Farmer at Taylor County High School, are enlisted in the leadership initiative that takes their youth tour experience to the next level.

In addition to supporting their local co-ops and volunteering in their communities, each of the Co-op Champions students hosted a Co-ops Vote registration drive.
