Here’s DeKalb County’s unofficial election results for Tuesday’s primary

Election 2024
Candidates and supporters wait for election results Tuesday, June 28, 2022, during a Democrat candidate watch party at Fatty's Pub and Grille in DeKalb.

These are the unofficial election results for contested races across DeKalb County as of about 1 a.m. Wednesday.

DeKalb County reported a 24% voter turnout, according to the DeKalb County Clerk and Recorder’s Office.

A software issue in the clerk’s office also delayed publishing race results for about two and a half hours Tuesday night.

The results do not include provisionally cast or late-arriving, mail-in ballots. Vote totals are not finalized until two weeks after Election Day.

An asterisk indicates who is leading in each race. Two candidates from each DeKalb County Board race moves on to the November ballot.

Candidates are in the order they appear on the DeKalb County Clerk & Recorder’s Office website. Listed are results from contested races. Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding.
