County election results as yet unofficial

Hamilton County voters cast more than 4,150 ballots in last week’s General Election, weighing in on a number of local and statewide races.
Listed here is a report of election results for Hamilton County only, which remain unofficial as of Monday until the canvassing board meets. Many of the races were not contested. Note also that some elections involve seats with jurisdiction outside Hamilton County, which means these results may not indicate the winner. 
As a note of explanation, the LMN reference stands for candidates representing the Legalize Marijuana Now party. Additionally, “undervoting” is defined as a vote occurring “when the number of distinct choices selected by a voter in a contest is less than the maximum number allowed for that contest or when no selection is made for a single choice contest.” Overvoting, in contrast, “occurs when one votes for more than the maximum number of selections allowed in a contest. The result is a spoiled vote, which is not included in the final tally.”
