Highland Co. election results

0

All four issues on the ballots passed and Republican Tom Eichinger won a race with Democrat candidate Jim Cameron for president of Hillsboro City Council on Tuesday, according to unofficial results from the Highland County Board of Elections.

A Highland County Board of Elections spokesperson told The Times-Gazette that 20.23 percent of registered Highland County voters cast their ballots in Tuesday’s election. That was down significantly from recent general elections in the county.

According to information on past elections provided by the board of elections, in the November 2018 general election, which featured state-level elections as well as local, 49.26 percent of Highland County voters cast their ballots. In the November 2017 general election, which consisted of only local issues, 26.67 percent of Highland County voters voted. In the November 2016 general election, which included national, state and local elections, 67.99 percent of Highland County voters voted.

The board of elections representative said the unofficial results were available a little later than usual Tuesday night because the board of elections wasn’t required to report hourly. The board also had to hand-tally write-in votes and wanted to have that data available before they released any information.

The board of elections spokesperson told The Times-Gazette that the official results will be available by Nov. 20.
