California avocado growers are highly encouraged to submit their ballots for the California Avocado Commission 2024 General Election to the California Department of Food and Agriculture. Ballots were mailed to commercial producers and handlers of record on September 25 and included a postage paid envelope that can be used to mail back the ballots. The ballots are due October 25. Election results will be announced November 14.

The election is for one producer member seat in each of CAC’s five districts. In addition, one handler member seat is available. Information about the candidates is available online.  The terms of office for each seat will expire on October 31, 2026.
