What voters are deciding

The contest concerns a special district board responsible for public district governance and spending decisions. The named division or ward identifies the seat being contested. These figures should be read within that district’s boundaries when residents compare different local election results.

These are unofficial returns from the November 3 general election. Additional valid ballots and canvass review can change the totals or ranking. In multi-seat contests, candidate selections are not the number of individual voters. For any district extending into another county, compare the other county’s return before drawing a districtwide conclusion.
