A 1-cent local option sales tax was renewed by voters in all but two Humboldt County communities on Tuesday.

The measure to renew the tax failed in LuVerne and Rutland.

A simple majority was needed to extend the tax, which has been place for 20 years.

For the city of Humboldt, the tax generated $546,553 in the fiscal year that ended June 30. That money is spent on streets and other infrastructure.

In unincorporated areas of Humboldt County, the tax generated $140,794 in the last fiscal year. That money is divided up, with 70 percent going to secondary roads and 30 percent going to community betterment initiatives.

Here are the unofficial election results released by Humboldt County Auditor Peggy Rice.
