PINE BELT, Miss. (WDAM) - Votes are being counted as polls are now closed for the 2022 Mississippi primary elections.

If you happen to be in line to vote at 7 p.m., you will still be allowed to vote.

Party nominees for each of the state’s four congressional seats will be chosen by voters Tuesday, and the winners will represent their respective parties in November.

If runoffs are needed, they will be on June 28.

According to unofficial election results, the Associated Press has projected the winners in a few Mississippi primary elections:

U.S. House District 1 GOP - Trent Kelly (R) *incumbent
U.S. House District 1 DEM - Dianne Black (D)
U.S. House District 2 DEM - Bennie Thompson (D) *incumbent
U.S. House District 3 DEM - Shuwaski Young (D)
U.S. House District 4 DEM - Johnny DuPree (D)

The Associated Press is also expecting runoff elections for U.S. House District 4 GOP with incumbent Steven Palazzo (R) and U.S. House District 2 GOP.

As of Tuesday night, the U.S. House District 3 GOP election is still too close to call between incumbent Michael Guest (R) and Michael Cassidy (R).

As both Democratic and Republican parties prepare to campaign for control of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate later in the year, the midterm Congressional primaries are considered crucial for both parties.
