Grant County commissioners approve measure to put State's Attorney appointment on 2026 primary ballot
Summary
The Grant County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 2026-01 to place a county measure on the 2026 primary ballot that would change the State's Attorney from an elected office to an appointed position; the motion passed 2–0 with one commissioner absent.
The Grant County Board of Commissioners voted on March 4 to place a county measure on the 2026 primary ballot that would change the Grant County State's Attorney from an elected position to an appointed one.
Commissioner Marty Meyer moved to approve Resolution 2026-01; Chairman Alton Zenker seconded the motion. The board recorded roll call votes of Meyer — aye and Zenker — aye. Commissioner Al Roy Hochhalter was absent at the meeting.
The resolution authorizes placing the measure before voters in the 2026 primary election. The minutes do not specify who would have appointing authority or describe the appointment process; that detail was not provided in the recorded proceedings and is therefore not specified.
The board carried the measure as a formal action during its regular meeting; the measure will appear on the county’s 2026 primary ballot for voter consideration.
