This election concerns the named healthcare district board position. The district and seat label identify the public governance office being contested.

These are preliminary returns from the November 3 general election. The official canvass can change totals and rankings. Reporting all precincts does not establish that every valid ballot has been processed or that an outcome has been certified. Any district crossing county lines requires the other counties’ returns as well.
