Los Angeles County Measures

Measure A

• Measure A appears to be headed toward approval, with 1,051,768 yes votes (55%) and 858,753 for no (45%). If passed, the measure would repeal Measure H, a ¼ cent sales tax measure to fund homeless services and prevention that was passed by voters in 2017, and impose a ½ cent sales tax in its place that would raise more than $1 billion annually.

Measure G

• Early results have Measure G failing narrowly, 907,931 to 893,510. If passed, it would amend the Los Angeles County Charter to not only create an elected county executive position, an independent ethics commission, and a nonpartisan legislative analyst. It would also expand the LA County Board of Supervisors from five to nine members and require county departments to present annual budgets at public meetings.

Measure E

• Yes votes for Measure E, the Fire Protection Special Tax Measure, are ahead 363,836 to 334,382. If passed, Measure E would levy a 6-cent per square foot tax on certain parcel improvements, exempting low-income seniors. It is expected to raise $152 million annually.
