Summary
Maryland, New York, South Carolina and Utah were tabulating midterm primary ballots Tuesday night, with unofficial results expected first in South Carolina soon after 7 p.m. Eastern.
Maryland polls closed at 8 p.m. Eastern and statewide ballot-scanning machines should produce most unofficial results by late evening, while New York’s 9 p.m. close leaves timing to county-by-county uploads.
Utah closes last at 10 p.m. Eastern, but its mail-in system means most ballots are already in; officials expect a solid unofficial picture by late Tuesday or Wednesday morning.
The contests include open U.S. House seats in Maryland, New York and Utah, a crowded Maryland Republican gubernatorial primary, and South Carolina runoff races after no candidate won outright earlier this month.
All results remain unofficial until certification, with Maryland’s canvassers set to certify on July 23 and New York counties beginning certification by July 13.
