A final tally in Athens-Clarke's District 1 between James Alexander and Heidi Hensley was not complete late Tuesday as one precinct remained uncounted. Hensley was leading Alexander, but elections officials said results from the final precinct would not be available until sometime Wednesday.
In the Oconee race, neither Mauck nor Hammock had the 50 percent necessary to avoid a runoff set for June 21.
