The Grant County Primary takes place on Tuesday, June 4, 2024. Two races have no Republican running in them so the winner of the Democrat primary wins the General Election automatically. They are for County Clerk and Magistrate Judge.

Randy Hernandez and Connie Holguin are running for County Clerk.
Patrick Snedeker and Matt Runnels are competing for Magistrate Judge, District 1.

There are no contested primaries on the Republican slate.

Independents and Declined to State:
The primaries are only partially closed so Independents and Declined to State voters merely need to declare that they want to vote Democratic or Republican when they walk in to vote.
