A voter carries his ballot to be counted Tuesday morning at Southeast Community Center where a slow, but steady trickle of voters moved through the polling location.

Residents from Platte, Jackson, Clay and Cass counties elected public school board members and Kansas City voters overwhelmingly renewed that city's 1% earnings tax.

Below are the unofficial results for the Apr. 6 special elections and municipal elections in Kansas City, Missouri, and local counties.

You can find full results from the Kansas City Election Board, Jackson County Election Board, Clay County Board of Election Commissioners, Cass County Election Authority, and Platte County Elections Board.
