HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Jenna Fager with the Reno County Election Office notes that even though her office does not have to deal with a primary for local and school board elections like some counties in Kansas do this year, they are still waiting on the final language from the Board of County Commissioners on the ballot question to come in November regarding potential expansion of the commission from three to five members.
"They're going to put together the resolution and then pass the resolution," Fager said. "I just need to know what to put on the ballot, the wording and all of that. That gives me enough time. I know that I need the placeholder and then they'll give me the exact language once they officially pass it August 10th."
City and school board elections, even when they happen in November, are not typically large ballots.
"They're usually a pretty small ballot," Fager said. "I don't even know that it will make it a two page ballot, honestly. It just depends on how wordy they get, I guess."
Since it won't create more pages and it's an election that's already happening, there's no additional election cost to put the question on.
