Unofficial early voting results in Harris County show 54.41% of voters against the $21.6 million Jersey Village city campus bond referendum on the Nov. 4 ballot, with 636 early and absentee votes against. In favor of the bond proposition are 533 early and absentee votes, or 45.59%.
Additionally, results show 64.19% of voters in favor of a $20 million bond for wastewater and sewer infrastructure improvements but 51.45% of voters against a $6.5 million bond for the construction of a city pool. All results are unofficial until canvassed.
How we got here
Jersey Village City Council agreed Aug. 18 to place the three bond propositions on the Nov. 4 ballot after residents petitioned the certificates of obligation for each project, according to previous Community Impact reporting.
According to Texas law, successful petitions of the COs, signed by at least 5% of registered voters, require the city to call a bond election or scrap the proposal altogether.
In July, Council reduced the city campus bond proposal, which would fund the construction of a multipurpose city hall and community center, from $24 million to $21.6 million before placing the proposition on the ballot. City Council placed the water infrastructure and city pool bond propositions on the ballot without adjustments, Community Impact previously reported.
