Primary Results
Here are unofficial results from Tuesday’s primary election, with some absentee ballots still to be counted. Only races with three or more candidates were on the ballot, and the top two vote-getters in each race advance to the Nov. 4 general election. Property tax measures require 60 percent approval to pass.
