The final counts are in, here are the final unofficial 2024 Primary Election results from Carson City.

Mail-in ballots postmarked by election day were still being counted, which is why results have still been coming in this week. A number of mail-in ballots were also held to be processed after election day to help with voter anonymity, according to Emily Toups, Deputy Clerk of Elections.

As ballots continue to be processed from last Tuesday's primary election, some Carson City seats are cinched while others are becoming closer by the day.

In order to avoid going to the general election, a candidate must receive 50 percent of the vote plus one. The election will officially be certified during the Carson City Board of Supervisors Canvass of the Vote happening Friday, June 21. It is unclear at this time how many ballots are left to be counted.

The speaker at Monday's Democratic luncheon will be Aaron Sims, Chair of the Rural Nevada Democratic Caucus. As June is Pride Month, Aaron will be talking about the origins of the Pride movement, why it was important that it progressed the way it did, and what it means in today's political environment. He may also lightly cover his own personal coming out story and how it was affected by living in rural communities all his life.

Here are the votes as of Tuesday, June 13 at 4:40 p.m.

The votes will not be finalized until all mail ballots have been counted. So far, the majority of ballots (5,720) were cast by mail, followed up by early voting (2,171) with the least amount of votes (1,842) cast on Election Day.

We will continue to update results as they come in.
