Legislation to allow Choptank Electric Cooperative to become Member-Regulated and deliver broadband to members on the Eastern Shore passed unanimously in the Maryland General Assembly on March 18, 2020, and became effective on May 7, 2020. Pursuant to the new law, Choptank held informational meetings and conducted a vote of its members on whether to become a Member-Regulated Cooperative. On August 13, 2020, the results were in -- 33% of Choptank’s members turned out to vote, with 98% voting in favor of Member-Regulation. “The team here at Choptank Electric will work tirelessly to achieve this life-changing infrastructure deployment for our members,” said Mike Malandro, President and CEO of the Cooperative.
