Voters in the City of Clinton approved the limited sales tax for the purpose of renovating and repairing the outdoor Artesian Park pool, on Tuesday, November 2. There were no long lines at the voting center (the Clinton Benson Center) for most of the day. This was the only voting location available for this special election.
One poll worker described it as “a trickle” of people that came in to vote. A single voter did show up at one minute before the polls closed at 7 p.m. to vote (and did vote).
The breakdown: there were 50 absentee ballots cast for the park tax issue, 33 of those were “yes” to 17 “no”.
Of the remaining 578 votes cast, 343 were “yes” to 235 “no”. The total voter turnout for this election was 12.45%, of the 5,067 eligible registered voters in city limits. Please remember that this passed park tax is limited and will only run for 5 years. It would require voter approval at the 5 year sunset to continue after that.
