Key takeaways
- An approved bond is permission to borrow, not money spent. Agencies typically sell the bonds and start projects over several years, which gives vendors time to get in early.
- Design, engineering and construction management are usually procured first; construction, equipment and technology follow.
- Results here are unofficial until counties certify them. Close races can change as mail and provisional ballots are counted.
- Each row links to the report or results page we used.

What an approved measure means for vendors
Passing a bond starts a multi-year buying cycle. The vendors who win are usually in the conversation before the first solicitation.
- Bonds are sold over time. Voters authorize a maximum amount; the agency's board then approves each bond sale. Watch board agendas for bond issuance and project lists.
- Planning comes first. Facility assessments, design, engineering and program or construction management are typically procured early, often through qualifications-based selection.
- Construction, equipment and technology follow. Furniture, fixtures and equipment, security systems, technology and vehicles are often bought as projects near completion — sometimes through cooperative contracts.
- Taxes start on a set date. Sales and property tax measures begin collecting on the date set in the measure, and spending follows the agency's budget cycle.
- Oversight is public. Many bond programs report to a citizens' oversight committee and publish project lists and schedules — a free source of scope and timing.
- Rejected measures often return. Agencies frequently revise and resubmit failed measures at a later election, so the underlying need doesn't go away.

Frequently asked questions
What is a bond measure?
A bond measure asks voters to let a government or school district borrow money by selling bonds, usually for buildings, infrastructure or equipment. The debt is typically repaid from property taxes or another dedicated revenue source over 20 to 30 years.
Are these election results final?
No. Results on this page are unofficial counts reported on election night and the morning after. Counties continue counting mail and provisional ballots and certify results in the following weeks, so close measures can change.
How soon after a bond passes do agencies start buying?
Usually within months, but spending often stretches over several years. The agency's board approves each bond sale, and planning, design and construction management are typically procured before construction, equipment and technology.
Why do some measures need more than 50% to pass?
Rules vary by state and measure type. For example, most California school facility bonds need 55%, some California special taxes need two-thirds, Washington school bonds need 60%, and Missouri general obligation bonds generally need a four-sevenths supermajority on general election ballots.
How can vendors find out what a bond will buy?
Start with the ballot language and the agency's project list, then follow board agendas, bond oversight committee reports and capital improvement plans. Calling the program owner confirms priorities, timing and how the agency plans to buy.
