The Beltrami County Board passed a redistricted commissioner map 3-2 during their meeting Tuesday.
Proposal Two gained the support of Commissioners Tim Sumner, Reed Olson and Richard Anderson.
Anderson expressed that he felt the new map would best serve the citizens he represents.
Commissioners Craig Gaasvig and Jim Lucachick voted against the measure, citing that the maps shift too much of the population.
Lucachick will be drawn out of District 5 under this proposal from his home in Turtle Lake Township, and in a commissioner report at the end of the meeting, said he would lobby the legislature for a super-majority vote on these types of decisions in the future.
Under Proposal Two, all commissioners will run for election this year. Commissioner elections must be staggered to alternate election cycles, with districts 1 & 3 running for their normal four-year cycle this year, and the rest running for two-year terms.
