Growers Encouraged to Vote in CAC 2022 General Election

The deadline to vote in the California Avocado Commission 2022 General Election is October 26, 2022. Election ballots were mailed to commercial producers and all handlers of record in late September and must be returned to the California Department of Food and Agriculture in the postage paid envelope by the deadline. The results of the election will be announced on November 17.

The elections will be for one producer member seat in each of the five CAC districts, as well as one handler member seat. A complete list of candidates can be found on the CAC 2022 General Election webpage.

The 2022 General Election ballots will again use the ranked voting method, allowing voters to rank candidates in order of their preference. The candidate who receives the highest number of first choice votes will be offered their choice of available seats.

California avocado growers are highly encouraged to take part in the 2022 General Election. Please contact April Aymami at [email protected] or 949.341.1955 if you did not receive a ballot.
