Results are considered unofficial until officially certified.
FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. — Voters settled several local races in the recent primary election, while a handful of crowded contests remain undecided and will move on to the November general election, according to unofficial results posted on Florida’s election reporting site. Overall voter turnout for the primary election was 29.96%; of 98,714 registered voters, 29,757 ballots were cast.
Under the rules, a race with only two candidates is decided in the primary, and the candidate with the most votes wins. In a race with more than two candidates, someone can win outright only by taking a majority of the vote. If no one reaches that mark, the top two finishers advance to the general election.
Here is how the results broke down.

In the Republican primary for County Commission, District 4, Leann Pennington won outright with 54.58% (8,520 votes) — clearing the majority needed in a three-person race. Drew Moss finished second with 24.65% (3,847), and Anna Jones had 20.77% (3,242). The race drew 15,609 votes.
