With 75 percent of the precincts counted, the voters in Woodford County came out in favor of a 1 percent increase to the sales tax to help schools with facility improvements and needs.

The Yes votes were 4,523 while No votes were 3,389.

The vote comes as Eureka School District 140 and Roanoke-Benson school districts are talking about consolidation to help meet common needs and a changing enrollment.

In the other referendum on the ballots in Woodford County, voters in the Roanoke Park District approved a tax increase to help pay for the swimming pool’s water.

The measure called for increasing the tax rate to 12 cents, an increase of 4.5 cents from the current rate of 7.5 cents.

Voters approved the proposal by 109 votes.
