Election results

Written by Staff Monday, 12 May 2008

 

Voters went to the polls Saturday for the May 10 joint election, casting more than 14,000 ballots. Unofficial results have been released, but official results will not be released until the various political subdivisions — the cities and school districts — canvass their unofficial results, which should happen by the end of next week, Williamson County Elections Administrator Rick Barron said. Barron also said the Liberty Hill election results are the only ones he thinks could change because they are so tight.
