2alternative valid petitions are filed within 14 days after the last day that an original
3petition may be filed, the question relating to the number of supervisors shall appear
4separately. The first question shall be: “Shall the size of the county board of
5supervisors of .... County be decreased from its current membership of .... members?".
6Any subsequent question shall be: “If so, shall the size of the board be decreased to
7.... members?". Each elector may vote in the affirmative or negative on the first
8question and may then vote in the affirmative on one of the remaining questions. If
9the first question is not approved by a majority of the electors voting on the question,
10any subsequent question is of no effect. If the question is approved by a majority of
11the electors voting on the question, or, if more than one question is submitted, if the
12first question is approved by a majority of the electors voting on the question, the
13board shall enact an ordinance prescribing revised boundaries for the supervisory
14districts in the county. The ordinance shall be enacted in accordance with the
15approved question or, if more than one question is submitted, in accordance with the
16choice receiving a plurality of the votes cast. The districts are subject to the same
17requirements that apply to districts in any plan enacted by the board under subd. 1.
18If the board has determined under sub. (1) (b) to adopt staggered terms for the office
19of supervisor, the board may change the expiration date of the term of any supervisor
20to an earlier date than the date provided under current ordinance if required to
