In Crawford and Richland counties, voters approved a Crestline school district renewal levy by a vote of 367-336. The 10-mill, 5-year levy is intended to raise $759,000 annually for operating costs.

These votes are not official. Election results will be certified in 10 days.

Wynford voters in Crawford and Wyandot counties passed two school levies. The first, a 1.82 mill renewal, passed 704-581. The second levy, for 6.96 mills for three years, passed 714-577.

Also in Crawford County, a Bucyrus library levy passed easily, and Cranberry Township voters OK’d an issue approving a Sunday liquor license for a local business.
