Voters in Colorado's Douglas County could see a question on their November ballot about increasing the number of elected county commissioners who represent them.
Right now, the Board of Douglas County Commissioners is made up of three commissioners, who each live in a different district but are elected by all the voters of the county.
A petition currently circulating would not only increase that number to five, but create distinct commissioner districts.
"It really is about good governance, it's about better representation, and it's about giving people a voice in how their county is run," said petition organizer Angela Thomas.

"It's really nice being able to find one guy to agree with me here instead of two, but it really doesn't bother me at all. I'd be just as comfortable serving on a board of five as I would on a board of three," Teal said.
