Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill will win re-election, granting him four more years as head of the Metropolitan Police Department.
To win outright on Tuesday, he required only a single vote in his nonpartisan race, because he didn’t have a challenger.
And because District Attorney Steve Wolfson also did not face a challenge for his partisan seat, he automatically advanced to November’s ballot.
County clerk
Meanwhile, early results showed incumbent Clark County Clerk Lynn Marie Goya leading her two-way Democratic primary with 78.2 percent of the vote, compared with Jeff Miller’s 21.3 percent.
The winner will face Republican nominee Howell Shaw and George Stamper, the nominee for the Libertarian Party of Nevada.
County recorder
The county will have a new recorder after November’s election.
Tanya Flanagan, who had 59.1 percent of the vote, was leading in the Democratic primary in a three-way race. Skye Berry Burress was in second place with 21.3 percent, and Anna Perez was in third with 19.6 percent.
Republican Bill Young was ahead of Rana Saeed, 73.7 percent to 26.3 percent.
County assessor
The county assessor’s office attracted five candidates.
Democrat Melissa Martinet was narrowly leading Tamicka Washington, 51.8 percent to 48.2 percent.
Republican Judy Joe was ahead of Kevin Child, 53.3 percent to 46.7 percent.
The winners will face off in November against Lynette Warren, the Libertarian Party of Nevada nominee.
Incumbent Clark County Treasurer J. Ken Diaz, a Democrat, advanced to the general election, where he will try to best Republican Mitchell Tracy and Libertarian T.J. Ferreira.
Public administrator
After Public Administrator Rita Reid declined to run for re-election, the race attracted three Republicans and three Democrats.
Former Clark County Coroner Michael Murphy was ahead in the Republican primary with 66.7 percent of the vote. Mark Sprinkle was in second place with 20.3 percent, and Donald Salazar was in third with 13 percent.
In the Democratic contest, Stephanie Itkin-Goodman led the field with 66.8 percent of the vote, compared with Edgar Velazquez’s 19.5 percent and M.J. Ivy’s 13.7 percent.
