These Regulations lay down rules relative to process of selecting a person to represent the interests of registered coffee growers who are members of registered cooperative societies, plantation coffee growers or coffee trade organizations as the case may be in the Coffee Board of Kenya. The Board, or in case of a small holder grower, the cooperative society acting on behalf of the Board, upon registering a grower shall: (a) allocate an electoral area to the grower; and (b) notify the grower of the allocation. No person, other than the registered coffee growers or elected representatives present in person in the area in which a meeting is held, shall be entitled to vote upon any matter provided for by these rules, and each registered grower or elected representative shall have one vote.
