A ballot question that could increase the number of Leavenworth County commissioners will be put before voters in the fall.
The County Clerk’s Office has determined that enough valid signatures have been collected to place the question on the ballot for the Nov. 6 general election, according to County Clerk Janet Klasinski.
The question will ask voters if they approve of increasing the number of Leavenworth County commissioners from three to five.
The signatures were collected by a group known as Give Me Five, which supports the expansion of the County Commission.
On Friday, the group submitted petition forms with 3,010 signatures to the county clerk. By late Monday morning, the Clerk’s Office had verified that at least 2,153 of the signatures belong to registered voters in Leavenworth County.
