Voters in Oklahoma returned to the polls Tuesday to vote on various elections.
Locally, two schools held school board elections, a school asked voters to approve a bond to go towards infrastructure improvements, and a western Oklahoma city intends to build a new family community center.
Weatherford precincts were busy with two elections taking place.
Three candidates ran for the unexpired term of school board office number 1, with a runoff election developing between Matthew Fast and Brandy D. Chase.
The runoff election will occur on April 3.
Also Weatherford citizens approved the bond proposition with 55% of the yes vote, that will go towards the construction of a city owned family community center that will include indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities.
Another runoff election developed in a western Oklahoma school district, this time in Cordell where voters will decide between the top two vote-getters for the unexpired term of office number 3. Parker Christian and Cole Gregg will be running for that position on April 3 as well.
Voters in the Canute School District turned away a bond proposition that would have provided students with a renovated gymnasium and an upgraded science lab.
That proposition lacked roughly 26 yes votes to eclipse the needed 60% approval.
Elsewhere, Leedey voters approved two propositions by giving both issues over 90% approval. Those bonds will go towards transportation, infrastructure improvements, and improvements to the district’s baseball and softball fields.
Mangum brought in 88% of the yes vote for a bond proposition that will go towards improvements to the football field house.
