DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. — Over the last few months, Denver7 has covered extensively a citizen-led initiative in Douglas County to increase the number of county commissioners from three to five.
On Friday, organizers held an event at Lone Tree Brewing, as they come down the home stretch to get signatures to get the measure on November's ballot.
"The fourth quarter is here, and we have 13 days to get it done," said 3 To 5 organizer Angela Thomas.
She told Denver7's Douglas County Reporter Tyler Melito that they need a little more than 15,000 verified signatures to get the measure added to the ballot in November.
Currently, Thomas said they are at a little more than 11,000.
"We have 13 days to finish up to reach around 18,000," Thomas explained. "We need 15,040 verified signatures, but we're going for about 20% more than that."
