Other major races on the primary ballot include seats for U.S. House, U.S. Senate and the state House.
Queen said by late morning, there had been no major problems reported.
The Attorney General’s Office said it had received 11 calls from eight counties by 10 a.m. A majority of the calls were procedural questions, but three were reports of electioneering and one reported possible vote buying.
