A cooperative may provide in its articles or bylaws that units or districts of members are represented at members' meetings by delegates chosen by the members of the unit or district. Delegates vote in the same manner as a member, but only on the basis and with the number of votes the articles or bylaws prescribe. Where a portion of the members must approve an amendment, dissolution, merger, consolidation or sale of assets, delegates' votes count as votes of the members they represent § 308B.545, subd. 4 P1.
