\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPosted at 7:30 p.m. <\/p>\n

Voters cast early ballots April 20-28 in the May 2 election to determine the future of two propositions on the ballot in Round Rock.<\/a><\/p>\n

The results<\/p>\n

Early voting data from Travis and Williamson County became available shortly after 7 p.m., and show 84.47% of votes were against Proposition A, with 15.53% of votes in favor; and Proposition B received 67.87% of votes against the measure, with 32.13% of votes in favor.<\/p>\n

What you need to know<\/p>\n

Proposition A<\/a> would allow electronic billboards in limited areas of the city, primarily along I-35 and SH 45. The current city charter prohibits digital billboards, and a similar petition effort in the past did not gather enough signatures to reach the ballot.<\/p>\n

Proposition B<\/a> would require the Round Rock Fire Department to meet national staffing and emergency response benchmarks and incorporate those requirements into the city charter.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n
