Coryell County released a cumulative results file for the Nov. 4, 2025 election that includes several smaller contests where only a handful of votes were reported by the county. The document records precinct level returns for parts of multi county school districts and for small municipal contests. Those entries are the county level portion of larger contests whose final totals are produced by aggregating results across all counties that share the district or municipality.
The county file includes the Coryell portions of contests such as Valley Mills Independent School District Proposition A. In the Coryell report the Valley Mills portion shows Cast Votes: 3. The file also contains city and mayoral office totals for small municipalities, including the Coryell County portion of Oglesby mayor and aldermen contests. Moody Independent School District and other small contests appear on precinct level pages within the same PDF.
These entries matter for voters who live in neighborhoods where jurisdictional lines cut across town boundaries. Portions of Copperas Cove and other communities lie in more than one county. For those residents reviewing the local report can show exactly how Coryell County recorded its portion of each contest. The county file therefore serves as a transparency tool, letting voters track the local inputs that feed into larger canvasses and final district level certifications.
Institutionally, county election clerks prepare precinct level returns and compile cumulative files that reflect votes cast within county boundaries. When a school district or a municipal race spans multiple counties the full district canvass requires aggregation of the county level returns from each county involved. The Coryell document makes clear that small numbers on the county report do not represent the whole district total, but do represent the county contribution to that total.
For community impact this distinction affects local tax and governance questions such as school bond approvals and leadership in small municipalities. Even a handful of votes can be decisive in tightly contested small city races or narrowly decided bond measures when margins are small at the district level. Clear county reporting supports accurate certification, public confidence, and accountability across jurisdictions.
Residents can review the precinct level pages for Valley Mills ISD, Oglesby, Moody ISD and other contests in the county cumulative report on the Coryell County tax office website under the November 2025 uploads. Voters with questions about how a specific contest was reported should contact the county elections office for clarification on canvass procedures and the path from precinct returns to final district totals.
