Arizona primary election 2024: Lots of ballots remain to be counted

Arizona voters on Tuesday selected the Democratic and Republican candidates who will vie to represent them in offices from city council to Congress.

But everything voters decided wasn’t immediately clear early Wednesday morning.

Tuesday night’s unofficial results included early ballots and election day ballots. Early ballots dropped off on election day remain to be counted, though the exact quantity was unknown. Additional results were expected to be reported from Maricopa County late Wednesday afternoon

Full, unofficial results are currently anticipated by Monday. Races may be called sooner, depending on margins and the number of early ballots that remain to be counted. Election results in Arizona are unofficial until local and state officials have tallied all ballots and certified the results.

Who is leading in Arizona primary elections?

Kari Lake won the Republan nomination for U.S. Senate over Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb. But results were not yet determined in several high-profile races.

Abe Hamadeh was ahead in the GOP race for Arizona’s 8th Congressional District, Amish Shah was leading in the Democratic primary for the state’s 1st Congressional District and Yassamin Ansari was leading in the Democratic race for Arizona’s 3rd Congressional District.

Incumbent Republican Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer was narrowly behind in his re-election bid, and Supervisor Jack Sellers trailed his GOP challenger Mark Stewart. Mayoral candidates in some of Arizona’s biggest cities, Mesa and Scottsdale, appear headed to runoffs.
