The question, as printed on the ballot

The Commission of the Port of Lopez adopted Resolution No. 2026-2 concerning the length of term of office for Port Commissioners. This proposition would increase the term of office for commissioners of the Port District from four (4) years to six (6) years. Should this proposition be approved?

A “Yes” vote means

Port of Lopez commissioners elected in the future serve six-year terms instead of four; current commissioners' terms do not change.

A “No” vote means

Port of Lopez commissioners keep four-year terms.

Official plain English statement

Approval of this Proposition would change port commissioner terms at the Port of Lopez from four to six years, resulting in one commission seat up for election every other election cycle. Rejection of this Proposition would keep the Port's commissioner term length at the current four years with two seats up for election every fourth year. If approved, terms of current commissioners would be unchanged. The six-year terms would apply only to subsequently elected commissioners.
