(KTNV) — Nevadans are narrowing the field of candidates that will be on the November ballot with their votes cast in the June Primary Election.

Statewide races to watch
Nevada Republicans chose their candidate to go up against incumbent Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen in November: retired U.S. Army Capt. Sam Brown, who secured the endorsement of former President Donald Trump on Sunday night.
Rosen easily secured her spot on the General Election ballot with 91.69% of the Democratic vote as of Wednesday morning.
Nevada's Congressional delegation also faces re-election this year, and the primary question on Tuesday night was who voters would select as the Republican challenger for the three U.S. House Districts that cover Las Vegas.
Incumbent Democrats in those districts include Reps. Dina Titus (D-NV01), Susie Lee (D-NV03) and Steven Horsford (D-NV04).
As of Wednesday morning, Republican races in Districts 1 and 3 had been called for Mark Robertson and Drew Johnson, respectively. The General Election will be a rematch for Robertson, who unsuccessfully ran against Titus in 2022.
The Republican Primary for Nevada's 4th Congressional District was still too close to call, with less than 1,000 votes separating John Lee, the former mayor of North Las Vegas, and David Flippo, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel.
Rep. Mark Amodei, the sole Republican among Nevada's Congressional delegation, won his party's vote to advance to the General Election. He did not have a Democratic challenger in the primary, but multiple third-party candidates were on the ballot.
Local races to watch
Tuesday's Primary promised to narrow the crowded field of candidates vying to be the next mayor of Las Vegas.
Since it's a nonpartisan race, any candidate who gets more than 50% of the vote will automatically win. Otherwise, the top two vote-getters will advance.
Results as of Wednesday afternoon showed former Congresswoman Shelley Berkley and current Las Vegas City Councilwoman Victoria Seaman as the candidates most likely to advance to the General Election. Berkley had 35% of the vote and Seaman had 30%. Councilman Cedric Crear brought up third with about 19% of the vote.
The mayoral race was a particular source of confusion for some voters who received their ballots to find the Las Vegas Mayor's race not included. Our senior political reporter Steve Sebelius helped explain that issue here, but it essentially breaks down to an inconvenient truth: we may have addresses in Las Vegas, but not all of us actually live in that city's municipal boundaries.
Another thing to keep an eye out for this election cycle is the balance of power in Nevada's state legislature.
If enough Democrats win seats, they could secure a veto-proof majority in the Assembly and Senate, which would have a big impact on Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo's power in the upcoming legislative session.

When will we know the final results?
As we all know by this point, it will likely be a few days (or longer) before major races in Nevada are formally "called" for any candidate.
That's because all ballots postmarked by June 11 will still be counted, so numbers will trickle in over the coming days. However, Primary Election turnout is historically pretty low in the Silver State (and that's proved true in this cycle, too), so there will be fewer ballots for election workers to tabulate.
