Constitutional amendments B and C passed in Kane County and in the state election by a large majority. At the County level, most of Kane County’s races are able to be called even at the preliminary stage: Gwen Brown in Commission Seat C, Ryan Maddux as Assessor, Isis Smith as Recorder and Kieran Chatterley as Treasurer all received 100 percent of votes cast for their position. School Board District 2 goes to Danny Little, unopposed; barring a significant upset with mail-in voting and late counts, District 3 goes to Taylor Glover, currently with about 71 percent of the vote over opposition James Head with about 15 percent. School Board District 1 is the exception, as the preliminary vote count between candidates John Reese and Mitchell Glazier was neck-and-neck, with Reese at 347 votes and Glazier at 350 - close enough for the still incoming and curing votes to make a potential difference.
As stated, these results are unofficial, awaiting vote curing and late arrival mail-in voting. Updated voting totals can be observed real time at electionresults.utah.gov.
