(a) Set forth any proposed action to be taken at the meeting;

(b) Provide an opportunity for the member to approve or disapprove of any action; and

(c) State that unless the ballot is revoked by a member, the ballot will be counted if received by the worker cooperative on or before the time of the meeting.
