The fourth round update for the Utah County primary elections moved the needle in close races across the valley. But the election tally is still not official, according to Utah County Clerk/Auditor Bryan Thompson.
Official results won’t be available until Aug. 29. At that time, the Board of Canvassers will meet at 3 p.m. to review primary election results.
“In a normal election, you are pretty much done at the end of the day on election day,” Thompson said. “In a mail-in environment, you get so much that come in last minute that you don’t know the results on election day.”
In Provo, the nine-way race for mayor had Sherrie Hall Everett held her spot in second place (2,674 votes) ahead of Odell Miner (2,548 votes), which was separated by only 18 votes after Tuesday’s update. Michelle Kaufusi leads the group — which advances two to November’s election — with 3,889 votes.
Now a closer election in Provo is for the Provo Council at-large bid. While current councilman Dave Sewell is clearly in first place with 6,099 votes, Wesley Marriott barely holds onto second place — which only two advance — with 2,099 votes ahead of Hunter Phillips 2,085 votes.
In the 3rd Congressional District primary, Provo Mayor John Curtis has already secured the nomination as the Republican party representative. The two other Republican hopefuls — Chris Herrod and Tanner Ainge — conceded last week. Curtis will go against Democrat Kathie Allen in November’s election.
