Kent
2026 Gubernatorial Primary: every contest on the county's ballot.
On a contest that has its own page, a check mark is the result of the whole
contest (won statewide, won the district, or retained), not this county's; a dot marks who
has the most votes in Kent. On a county office the check mark is this county's own
result.
"Mail-In Ballot 1" and "Mail-In Ballot 2" are the State Board's two
separate counts of mail-in ballots, as labelled in its results files.
