Preliminary election results favor cutting sales tax, tight race for Assembly
Unofficial municipal election results released just before midnight Tuesday show Proposition 2 likely to pass, while the other two ballot measures show narrower margins. The Assembly contest is neck and neck, and a race for the three Board of Education seats remains close.
Today’s results are not final. Only ballots cast through Monday 6 have been counted. Preliminary results include 6,073 ballots, about 22% of registered voters.
The outcome could shift as more votes are tallied, according to Municipal Clerk Breckan Hendricks. The city will release another round of unofficial results on Friday, and the certified count will be out Oct. 21.
Preliminary counts for Proposition 1 show 3,104 yes votes and 2,920 no votes, giving the “yes” side a 184-vote lead.
