With all precincts reporting in, the initial results are now posted on the Geauga County Board of Elections site. Processing of provisional ballots will take another 5-11 days to be counted and the results released.

Tax Issues
Geauga County JFS - Children Services - Passes
Auburn Township Roads - Passes
Auburn Township Patio Bar & Grill - Passes
Bainbridge Township Roads - Passes
Geauga County Park District - Passes (the current margin is 1.0% so there is a chance it will fail once all the votes are counted, but that is pretty unlikely).
Turnout
County turnout is currently at 32.91% for a total of 22,005 votes cast. Note that these numbers are based only on regular ballots cast on election day as well as mail-in/absentee ballots. All provisional ballots will need to be cured and then counted.
Looking at Bainbridge and Auburn Townships we see a pretty good turnout of over 30% with Auburn over-representing as is typical.
