Board appoints to District 5 vacancy and schedules special election for November
Summary
The Price County Board voted unanimously to appoint a representative to the District 5 supervisor vacancy now and to place the position on the November 3, 2026 special election ballot.
The Committee of the Whole considered whether to fill the County Board Supervisor District 5 vacancy by appointment or by special election. After discussion about procedures and publishing a notice of vacancy, the board approved a motion to both appoint a person to fill the vacancy immediately and to place the seat on the November 3, 2026 special election ballot. The motion (Kopisch/Houdek) carried on a roll call vote, Yes 12, No 0.
The minutes note the board will publish the vacancy notice for appointment/election in the newspaper and send notice to the Towns of Fifield and Eisenstein, which are represented by District 5. The action results in an interim appointment with an opportunity for voters to fill the seat at the scheduled special election in November.
