Following a technical difficulty on election night, all 60 vote centers in Williamson County have reported and voters have unofficially approved two bond issues for the county.

Proposition 1, which will be used to address various road improvement and expansion projects, passed with 63.94 percent of voters supporting the $275 million bond issue.

Proposition 2 includes $40 million in funding for parks development, trail expansion and an events center in Taylor. The proposition passed with 54.72 percent of voters voicing their approval.

All totals are unofficial until canvassed.

A voting machine at Leander High School caused the delay in final, unofficial totals being released; the machine powered down and could not be turned on following the closing of polls on Election Night, Elections Administrator Jason Barnett said.

The issue required calling a vote center technician located in Waxahachie to recover the six votes cast on the machine.

"He didn't estimate his time correctly and showed up here at 2:15 in the morning," Barnett said. "The six votes that were affected in the machine were retrieved successfully. No data was lost."

Final results were made available at 2:31 a.m. on Nov. 6.

Despite the difficulty, Barnett believes the convenience of vote centers contributed to an increase in voter turnout.

A total of 29,265 votes were cast during early voting and Election Day this year, which is about 11.46 percent of registered voters in the county, Barnett said. In 2011, at the first vote center election in the county, only 6.8 percent of registered voters in the county turned out, he said.

"I think vote center program was extremely successful. We almost increased our turnout by twice as much," Barnett said.

With 59 of 60 vote centers reporting, unofficial results say Williamson County voters are for a $275 million road bond proposition that would be used for road improvements, with 63.89 percent of voters submitting their approval of the issue.

Of the same reporting centers, 54.70 percent of voters have approved a $40 million parks bond issue, which includes $10 million earmarked for the development of an events center in Taylor.

A technical issue affecting the counting of 157 votes was reported by the Williamson County Elections Department at 10:45 p.m. on Election Day.

The roads bond, with one precinct's votes missing, was ahead by 8,330 votes at 11:15 p.m. The parks bond was ahead by 3,031 votes.

Road bond funds would be used as needed to address a number of projects proposed by city leaders during hearings earlier this year.

Parks bonds funds will go toward trail expansion and facility development throughout the county as well.

All results are unofficial until canvassed.

According to unofficial early voting results, 64.92 percent of Williamson County voters have voted in favor of a $275 million road bond package, and 54.41 percent have voted in favor of a $40 million parks bond package.

A bond committee held meetings in each of the four county precincts earlier this year to gain input from city representatives on road and parks projects, repairs and improvements that needed attention.

The committee proposed a $346 million bond election at the July 23 Commissioners Court meeting. During following workshops, the Commissioners Court cut down the bond package by $31 million.

As per ballot language, unassigned bond money could be put toward other general improvement or expansion projects not specifically named in the proposition.
