Unofficial Wayne County Primary Election Results

August 09, 2023

These are unofficial vote totals from Tuesday night's primary elections in Wayne County. These totals do include absentee ballots but do not include affidavit ballots. One race — for the Republican nomination for Post 2 Justice Court Judge — will be heading to an Aug. 29 runoff. Also, the votes for Shawn L. Gray for Post 1 Constable do not apply as he had to withdraw from the race due to a residency issue. That means Sierra Stokes advances to the Nov. 7 general election.

These results are for Wayne County only and do not reflect totals from around the state regarding statewide races:
