FINAL RESULTS OF 2002 PRIMARY ELECTIONS

Oct. 29, 2002 – Following are the final tabulations from the Office of the Supervisor of Elections of the Sept. 14 primary elections for the territory's three political parties, including absentee ballots and write-in votes. Within a category, candidates are listed from highest to lowest number of votes received.
In the case of party races for committee positions, the parties determine the number of seats; where an insufficient number of persons ran for these seats, the highest write-in- vote-getters also are considered elected.
Some write-in candidates' names also appeared elsewhere on the ballot; however, if a name is misspelled on a write-in vote, that vote is counted separately.
