Follow live as results come in Tuesday night for the special Republican primary election to replace Rep. Chris Stewart in Utah's 2nd Congressional District.
SALT LAKE CITY — Less than three months after it kicked off in earnest, the race for the Republican Party's nomination to fillPolling places in Utah have now closed and the first results are expected to start rolling in. This story will be updated as county clerks release the latest ballot tabulations.
Becky Edwards leads in the initial round of preliminary results available from Salt Lake and Tooele Counties with 9,488 votes, good for nearly 53% of the total. Bruce Hough trails with 4,245 and Celeste Maloy has 4,244. That's only a small percentage of the tens of thousands of voters expected to cast ballots and most counties in the district have yet to report any results, so things can and will change throughout the night.
As of 4 p.m., turnout for the 2nd District race was at 33.1%, according to Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, the state's top election official. Turnout was highest in Piute , Garfield and Wayne Counties. More than 43% of voters in Davis County had turned out, along with nearly 34% in Salt Lake County. Each of the three candidates has a track record of working with the party, and each has appealed to a different segment of the Republican electorate.
