The Adams County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution in the Aug. 26 public hearing referring a ballot question to the voters in the November election on term limits. The question asks registered voters whether their rights should be restored to elect candidates of their choice for all Adams County nonjudicial elected offices by lengthening the term limits for those offices by one additional term as authorized by the Colorado constitution.“The majority of the board voted to approve this resolution to allow Adams County voters an opportunity to retain quality elected officials for one additional term,” said board Chairman Larry W. Pace. “If the voters want to retain county elected officials for one more term, they will have the opportunity to express their viewpoint when they vote in the Nov. 3, 2009 general election. We believe that this year is the time to refer the question because the expense of placing a question on the ballot is significantly less in an odd year than in an even-year election.”
The Nov. 3, 2009 general election will be conducted as a mail ballot election.
