Early vote totals in the race for three open seats on the St. George City Council showed six clear leaders late Tuesday, although votes were still being counted in the city's special primary election.

State election rules make it so the top six from Tuesday's primary will make it onto November's general election ballot. The early numbers suggest that's just what Washington County's largest city would get — a clear top six.

According to preliminary totals released by the Washington County elections office, incumbents Jimmie Hughes and Dannielle Larkin held the early lead but were followed by a tightly bunched group that included Steve Kemp, incumbent Gregg McArthur, Paula Smith and Brad Bennett.
