Polls closed for the November 4 Special Election at 8 p.m., and the first batch of results are in.

Two ballot measures were being voted on by Washington County voters.

Measure No. 34-345, a replacement and increase to a levy that funds nearly half of the county's library system, is on track to pass.

The first results showed the yes vote at 56.9% or 51,994 votes in favor and the no vote at 43.1% or 39,388 against.

Measure No. 34-346, a replacement and increase to a levy that funds 18% of the county's public safety system, is also on track to pass.

The first results showed the yes vote at 57.39% or 52,431 votes in favor and the no vote at 42.61% or 38,926 votes against.
