Referendum Questions

There are three referendum questions that will appear on ballots in various Door County municipalities Nov. 2.

• The Town of Jacksonport is asking voters whether the Town Clerk and Town Treasurer positions should remain elected positions, or if they should be appointed by the town board instead.

• The Town of Egg Harbor is also asking voters if their Town Clerk and Town Treasurer should be changed from an elected to an appointed position.
