Tuesday's primary election asked voters to narrow a slate of candidates for Kansas City mayor and city council ahead of the general election on June 18. Residents also voted for school board candidates, and were asked to weigh in on a plan proposed by outgoing Mayor Sly James to fund pre-kindergarten education with a ⅜ cents sales tax that would generate $30 million a year for the next ten years.
Below are unofficial results from the those races, as well as metro-area school board elections and other selected questions. Other, and eventually official, results, are available from the Kansas City Election Board, Jackson County Election Board, Clay County Board of Election Commissioners and thePlatte County Elections Board.
