The details
In the May 4 election, the city of Selma held a special election for the reauthorization to collect a portion of sales and use tax.
The one-fourth of 1% in sales and use tax is dedicated to road repairs and has been established in the city since 2004, according to the city website.
Early vote totals show 88.35% of voters in favor of the tax and 11.65% against the tax.
What else?
Selma had two City Council seats and the mayor seat up for election in May, which were unopposed, meaning Mayor Tom Daly, and council members Noah Washington Jr. and Becky Harris will retain their seats following the canvassing of votes. These candidates were not on the ballot.
