Los Angeles County Measures
Measure A
- Measure A is on track toward approval, 1,328,876 (56%) to 1,054,996 (44%). 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
- Measure G is nearly a dead heat, 1,128,679 (50%) for passage and 1,116,492 (50%) against. If passed, it would 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
- Measure E, the Fire Protection Special Tax Measure, looks at the moment to be on track to pass, 476,372 (53%) to 415,769 (47%). 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.
