What voters are deciding

The result concerns the specific local office or special district board named in the county return. Voters elect representatives to distinct seats under the vote-for rule shown below. The office label and available-seat count determine how to interpret the ranking.

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.
