Bourbon County changing from 3 to 5 Commissioner Districts

Bourbon County will change from a three-district county to a five-district county in 2025.

In the fall of 2024, citizens collected signatures on a petition to add the change to the ballot in November. Even though they were unable to get the needed number of signatures in the time required to add it to the ballot, the County Commissioners approved a resolution to put the matter on the ballot.

In the November 2024 elections, a majority of voters approved the change.

Bourbon County Deputy Clerk Jennifer Hawkins said that the election office is currently switching everyone over to their new districts. Those districts are based on maps approved by the previous county commission.

Anybody interested in running can pick up a packet at the County Clerk’s office at 210 S. National Ave. Any registered voter living in the district he or she wishes to represent may run for commissioner, according to Jennifer Hawkins, Bourbon County Deputy Clerk.

The deadline to turn in completed candidate packets is noon on Monday, June 2, 2025.
