Close Race Among Candidates In Howard County School Board Election
Eight candidates ran for two open at-large seats in Tuesday's primary elections. Here are the preliminary results.
HOWARD COUNTY, MD — Polls are now closed in Howard County where voters cast their ballots for everything from governor to County Council, county executive, school board and sheriff.
Vote totals from the Howard County election office reported Dan Newberger led with 18.49 percent of the votes, followed by Jacky McCoy with 17.55 percent.
Election officials closed the lines to vote Tuesday at 8 p.m. Anybody in line by that time is allowed to vote. Polling locations will close when everybody in line has voted. Maryland will only release the results for statewide races when every polling place in the state has closed. That means there are not yet any results available in the governor's race. Unofficial ballot counts from early voting are now available for county contests. Early voting data for statewide races will be posted shortly. Refresh this story soon for more information.

When Will The Results Be Certified?
The Maryland State Board of Elections expects to certify the final results during the week of Aug. 8. Officials will announce the unofficial early voting and election day results on July 19, but they still have to count the mail-in, dropbox and provisional ballots. State law says these tallies must start and end on specific dates after election day. That means the final and official results will come a few weeks after voters hit the polls.
