Welcome to ArkansasNewsroom.com’s election night coverage.
8:15: Early vote is in
Early voting was released a little before 8 p.m. and for those results, click here.
There’s still a long way to go, but in races of North of the River interest, Questions 1 through 6 are all up while Question 7, for artificial turf, was down.
It was also the closest margin, about 7 percent, while the others are all up at least 10 percent.
Proposed bond issue
Total: $34.26 million
Question 1: Refunding 2018 bonds - $3.05M
Question 2: Street improvements - $3.86M
Question 3: Center on the Lake/Indoor pool - $5.39M
Question 4: Public Safety Training facility - $5.19M
Question 5: Fire station improvements - $8.45M
Question 6: Lake Valencia improvements - $3.22M
Question 7: Field turf for Parks & Rec - $5.1M
Legislative races
State Rep. Brandon Achor is currently leading the Republican primary for State Senate District 13 and in the much watched Special Election for State Representative District 70, Democrat Alex Holladay is beating Republican Bo Renshaw. This seat was made vacant when Carlton Wing resigned to run Arkansas PBS, which is now known as Arkansas TV and will no longer be affiliated with PBS.
County races
Judge Barry Hyde is losing to Wendell Griffen, while all the other incumbents are currently leading.
This will be updated during the night.
9:37: First round of Election Day votes land
Batch 1 of Election Day voting is in and there’s been 5,743 more ballots cast. Click here for those results.
Wendell Griffen has widened his lead in the Pulaski County Judge race but this batch of ballots isn’t from Maumelle and there’s been no change in the other races of interest.
Except the special election for State Representative District 70 as Democrat Alex Holladay widened his lead over Republican Bo Renshaw.
11:02 : Still waiting
Things are moving slow at the Pulaski County Election Commission as no new ballots have been counted for Election Day since that last update at 9:37 p.m.
So, welp, going to bed.. Will update in the morning, assuming more ballots have been counted.
7:28 a.m., Wednesday: As expected
Pulled the plug last night and, according to the time stamp, election results moved 10 minutes later. Click here for those results.
There will be more on Thursday morning, but, for now, Questions 1 through 6 all passed, so the sales tax extension is a go in Maumelle.
Question 7, the one for field turf, failed.
Pretty health turnout with 4,112 votes cast.
These results are not yet certified, and final numbers could change slightly. So all the usual caveats.
