Turnout low for school board elections

Quay County Magistrate Judge Timothy "TJ" O’Quinn and area school officials canvassed the Feb. 7 school board election results Friday at the Quay County Courthouse.

The Tucumcari, Logan and San Jon school board elections all included incumbent candidates running unopposed.

“The turnout for this election was low in every district in the county,” said Ellen White, county clerk.

The Public School Capital Improvements 2-Mill Tax Question for Logan schools failed due to having a tied vote of 38 for the question and 38 against.
