(KAIR)--The Atchison County Treasurer previously selected by voters will take office early.
That follows the nomination, and election, of Connie Ellerman Wednesday evening during an Atchison County Republican Convention.
It was held to select a replacement for Sheila Bilderback who is resigning from the office.
Ellerman was selected by acclimation, meaning a resounding yes vote of the Atchison County Republican Committee Chairpersons.
Bilderback's term officially comes to an end in October, when Ellerman will formally take over.
She defeated Bilderback in last August's Atchison County Republican Primary Election.
According to Atchison County Counselor Patrick Henderson, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback will be informed of Ellerman's selection through a certificate of appointment. It will be hand delivered to the Governor by Atchison County Clerk Michelle Phillips within 24 hours.
Henderson says the County Treasurer's office will close Friday afternoon at 4:00 to do a cash balance following Bilderback's resignation becoming effective.
