Notes on voting
Tax approved or rejected by majority vote
in each of the following geographic areas:
- Groups of contiguous cities voted as
one unit. In 1987 Johnson County contained one group of
contiguous cities: Iowa City, Coralville, Hills, North Liberty, and University Heights.
Each city had its own
proposals for use of revenue, but approval or rejection was based on
the total five-city vote.
- The unincorporated portion of
Johnson County voted as one unit.
- Each city that bordered no other
city voted as a unit. In 1987 Johnson County contained six
such cities: Lone Tree, Oxford, Shueyville, Solon, Swisher and
Tiffin.
(By the time of the 1999 sales tax election,
Tiffin and Coralville shared a boundary and Tiffin voted with the
contiguous cities. Also, the city of West Branch did not annex into
Johnson County until 1994 and thus did not participate in the 1987
election.)

Note: Under 1987 state law, all absentees
for all five contiguous cities were counted as one special precinct. Separate
absentee results by city could not by law be reported. Thus, complete totals by
city are not available, and subtotals by city represent voters at the polls
only. UNINCORPORATED
