It appears the Reno County Commission will expand to five members after nearly 54% of Reno County voters casting ballots approved the change on Tuesday. But, while the election outcome was clear, when and how the change occurs may be a subject of future debate. Under a plan adopted by the current county commission which put the issue on the ballot, the expansion won’t physically occur until 2023, when the two new seats are filled. That’s because the commissioners wanted to fill them with candidates running for election, rather than the governor appointing them, as is the standard practice.
