Dallas voters have cast their ballots against a proposed public safety bond measure. The outcome of the vote means the bond, intended to fund improvements and initiatives related to public safety in the city, will not move forward as planned.

Similarly, the margin of the rejection or the total number of votes cast for and against the measure were not immediately available.
The rejection of a bond measure typically signifies that a majority of the voting electorate did not approve the proposed expenditure or the method of financing it.
