Wednesday’s (Feb. 21) election returns show that both Kent School District Levys are still passing – with Prop. 2 ahead by just 5 votes.

Prop. 1 is now passing by 262 votes, and Prop. 2 by 5 votes – down from 10 on Tuesday.

“There is no required recount range for local ballot measures,” King County Elections says on its website. However, a recount can be requested by a group of five or more voters for a ballot measure.
