Dickinson County election results: Citizenship amendment passes; Enterprise sales tax fails

Dickinson County voters passed the constitutional amendment on voter citizenship and favored Republican candidates in every contested partisan race on Tuesday's general election ballot. Results are unofficial until the county canvass. Abilene had no city commission or USD 435 school board races this fall.

Dickinson County counted 7,207 ballots from 13,947 registered voters, a turnout of 51.67%. Percentages are each candidate's share of all votes cast in that race, including write-ins.
