Resolve, Regarding Increasing The Number Of Kennebec County Commissioners

LD 1556 proposes increasing Kennebec County's number of commissioner districts from 3 to 5, requiring an apportionment commission to create a map by October 2026. The plan must include 2 commissioners with 2-year initial terms and 3 with 4-year terms. Voters in Kennebec County would decide this change via referendum at the November 2026 statewide election, requiring majority approval to move forward. If approved, the plan would be submitted to the 2027 Legislature for enactment, with elections for the new 5 districts held in November 2028.
