A referendum to abolish the McHenry Township Road District was on track to be rejected by voters, preliminary election results show, the culmination of a hard-fought battle to eliminate the separate taxing body and place the responsibilities of maintaining the township's roads under the jurisdiction of the McHenry Township Board.
Unofficial election results reported by the McHenry County Clerk's Office showed voters rejected the referendum by a margin of 80.4% to 19.6%, as of 9:45 p.m. Tuesday night. The results do not include all mail-in or provisionally cast ballots.
