expanding the number of Grafton county commissioners.

HB 1693 expands Grafton County's board of commissioners from three to five members, creating five distinct districts covering all towns in the county. Each commissioner will be elected to a two-year term starting in 2026, with all seats up for election simultaneously at each general election. This change directly affects Grafton County residents, as it alters how local government representation is structured and elected. The bill requires an estimated $39,000 annual increase in county expenditures for the additional two commissioners' salaries and related costs.
