Find overviews below of the key primary races on the ballot this year. Initial results are expected starting at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Because ballots can be mailed on Election Day starting this year, elections officials caution the winners may not be known for several days. Election offices expect vote counts after Tuesday to rise more than in past years due to valid ballots arriving at counting locations up to seven days after the election.
