All nine congressmembers who represent the Inland Empire are leading their races in the Tuesday, March 5, primary.

Additional results for some districts were released about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 6.

RELATED: What’s at stake for voters in Riverside, San Bernardino counties this election?

The two candidates with the most votes — regardless of party affiliation — will head to a November run-off.

District 41 is one of the region’s most closely-watched races this year, as its outcome could help decide whether the Democrats or Republicans control Congress.

See the latest election results.

Currently, Republicans have a slim majority in the House, Jack Pitney, a professor of politics at Claremont McKenna College, said in January, meaning “Democrats can win control by flipping just a few seats.”

District 41’s runoff will include Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Corona, who was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1992, and Democrat Will Rollins, a former federal prosecutor. As of 3:01 a.m., Calvert and Rollins had 50.2% and 41.0% of the vote, respectively. Democrat Anna Nevenic, a registered nurse and author, is also running.

“It’s official, Riverside County,” Rollins said online Tuesday night. “I am your Democratic nominee to take back California’s 41st and defeat our state’s longest serving election-denier.”

In a Tuesday night statement, Calvert said he’s humbled by voters’ support.

“I look forward to earning voters support again in November and showing why we cannot afford to elect another radical, soft-on-crime Democrat like Will Rollins,” he said.

Here are the latest results as of about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. Incumbents are noted with an asterisk.
