The Reno County Commission voted Tuesday to place a question of whether to expand the county commission from three to five members on the Nov. 2 ballot. However, the board also agreed to ask the governor to allow the county to leave the two new seats vacant for a year, until the following year’s general election. The delay in seating the new commissioners would allow people to run for the office, rather than having partisan precinct committees select who would be on the ballot, which is the process spelled out in state law if there were a special election.
