Reading this local result

Area 2 allows votes for two candidates; Areas 3 and 1 each elect one. The short-term seat is a separate contest. The three areas must be read individually.

These are preliminary returns from the November 3 general election. The official canvass can change totals and rankings. Reporting all precincts does not establish that every valid ballot has been processed or that an outcome has been certified. Any district crossing county lines requires the other counties’ returns as well.
