Richard Sacco edged out incumbent Peter Ferguson for Democratic nominee for Ward 8 councilman. The turnout already exceeds the 14.75% in the May primary in 2019, which like 2023 was in the third calendar year after the last presidential election and featured a Canton mayoral race, albeit one with an incumbent. Voter turnout before valid provisional ballots and late-arriving absentee ballots are counted was 16.1% in Stark County. Incumbents Louis Giavasis, with 19.6%, and James Babcock, with 16.53% won the other two spots. Smith, who got 17% of the vote, beat Cole, with 14.2% 1,947 votes to 1,625. In the Canton council at-large race, Crystal Smith picked up enough votes in the final precincts to pull ahead of former Councilman Joe Cole for the third and final Democratic spot to advance to the November election. Shearer, who got 34.26% of the vote, leads 1,669 votes to 1,603 for West, who got 32.9%. But West would have to get at least 66 more votes than Shearer in that last batch of votes, to tie Shearer. It's unclear how many provisional and absentee ballots that will arrive by Saturday are outstanding. With the Tuesday night vote count done, Sherer, who led by 217 votes before the final three precinct vote counts were tallied, finished the evening with a 66-vote lead over West.
