The Kasson Alliance for Restoration (KARE) conducts an annual election typically during the first quarter of each year. The board of directors normally meets in January of each new year to designate a date for the first annual meeting of KARE's members during which the annual election is held. The first member meeting is preceded by a newsletter that is sent to all KARE members listing a slate of candidates and/or requesting nominations. The newsletter is sent no later than 30 days prior to the election. A minimum of five percent of KARE's membership must be present at a member meeting or voting by proxy to constitute a quorum. A majority vote of said members is sufficient to transact business including the election of board members. In 2010 the board of directors voted to increase the board to seven voting members (there must always be an odd number). The board can vote to have a minimum of 3 or up to a maximum of seventeen board members. The board member terms are as follows:

President: 3 year term
Vice president: 2 year term
Treasurer: 3 year term
Secretary 2 year term
Three Board Members At Large: 1 year term

If a board member resigns or cannot finish his or her term the board of directors must appoint a new board member who serves until the next annual election. The board can continue to the next annual election with less than seven members as long as the remaining number of board members is an odd number.

KARE also has non-voting board advisors that are elected by the board of directors.
