Nov. 9—Here are the election night results for St. Clair County, as provided by the Alabama Secretary of State office.

Voter turnout was at 40 percent for the county.

Election of a levy for a 15 Mill School District Tax for Springville

First and foremost, the highly contested election of the levy for a Springville 15 Mill School District Tax passed by the slimmest of margins, succeeding by 85 votes, with provisionals still needing to be counted.

However, according to St. Clair County School Board member Mike Hobbs, they are expecting it to pass regardless of provisionals. This millage tax will increase funding for facilities at Springville High School, which he says is desperately needed.
