Jackson County voters overwhelmingly voted Tuesday in favor of renewing the education local option sales tax (ELOST).

The referendum passed in a 1,305-569 vote with 70 percent of the voters casting a ballot in favor of the one-cent sales tax.

The sales tax could bring up to $100 million to the three school systems over the next five years.

Jefferson voters also passed in a 309-54 vote a bond referendum linked to the ELOST.
