State 4-H Council Elections
Each year, youth from across the state apply for the State 4-H Council. After a review of the applications and interviews with the applicants, a slate is created of youth who meet the qualifications of office. All candidates will be voted on during State 4-H Congress. Voting will be open from 8:00 a.m. May 29th until 1:00 p.m. on May 30th. All 4-H’ers 8-18 may vote for the Board of Directors and their respective Regional Representative.
