Early results from the election show a mix of propositions passing and failing. The totals will be updated over the next several days and weeks.Â
Levies and bond propositions have different requirements in order to pass. For levies, a simple majority is all that is required. However, bonds require a supermajority of 60% of voters in favor to pass. The ballots are still in the tabulation process; however, the final results will likely remain the same based on current margins. The results below are for all counties participating in the vote.
