Los Angeles County certified Measure ER as passed, 50.64% to 49.36% — the general sales tax still requires a county spending plan
The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk certified the June 2, 2026 election on June 26. The official result for County Measure ER was 1,013,747 Yes votes (50.64%) and 987,977 No votes (49.36%), satisfying the majority-vote requirement.
The official ballot statement describes a temporary 0.5% general sales tax for five years, projected to generate approximately $1 billion annually, with independent audits. Because it is a general tax, passage does not itself award a particular amount to an FQHC, hospital, program, or position; the County must adopt a spending plan and any provider payment or contract must be separately documented.
Executives and finance leaders should follow Board actions, adopted allocations, eligibility rules, and executed agreements before recognizing revenue or committing spend. Talent leaders should not open a requisition from the election result, and candidates should wait for an employer-posted vacancy.
The prior polling and pre-election advocacy window are retired. Do not put voter, employee-advocacy, patient, or candidate information in FQHC Talent; retain only public results and aggregate planning context.
