Oklahoma Election Results: OKC hotel tax increase, Guthrie school bond pass; Piedmont propositions fail
Voters in 53 counties went to the polls on Tuesday to cast their ballots in Oklahoma's runoff primary election that featured both races for the state House and Senate as well as for sheriff's offices and propositions.
Oklahoma City voters passed a proposition to increase the city hotel tax during Tuesday's election.
Oklahoma City voters approved raising the hotel tax from 5.5% to 9.25%. With the increase, the tax could bring in a little more than $11 million.
The money from the hotel tax will go toward highlighting Oklahoma City to attract people to visit.
