Richmond residents are voting in their first ever primary election for mayor and two city council seats.
For some of these races, the winner could be unofficially known tonight if a candidate secures more than 50% of the votes cast. If no one gets more than 50% of the votes cast in a particular race, the top two vote-getters will move on to the November General Election.

Results will begin appearing after the polls close at 8 p.m. Because many voters are turning their ballots in close to or on Election Day, it could take several days or longer to learn the final results.
