1. If new or changed county commissioner election districts must be established because of changes in population or applicable law, the board of county commissioners shall establish those districts by ordinance and provide for the election from specified districts of the proper numbers of county commissioners for 4-year and 2-year terms respectively so that the numbers of county commissioners to be elected at each general election thereafter will be as nearly equal as possible.
