Measure ER, the Los Angeles County Essential Services Restoration Act, maintained a narrow lead in the latest election results, though additional vote counts are still expected in the coming days and weeks.
By News Desk
As of the latest update, Measure ER had received 946,757 votes, or 50.35%, compared with 933,753 votes, or 49.65% against the measure. The margin separating the two sides remained less than one percentage point.
Because election officials have not completed all vote counting, the outcome of the closely contested measure remains subject to change as additional ballots are processed and reported.
Measure ER would enact a one-half percent countywide sales tax for five years, generating an estimated $1 billion annually. According to the ballot measure, the funding is intended to help address the effects of federal spending cuts, reduce the loss of essential county services, support healthcare programs, and lower the risk of closures affecting Los Angeles County’s public hospitals and clinics.
The latest results were released alongside updated totals from congressional, state legislative, county, judicial, and municipal contests throughout Los Angeles County.
Among congressional races, Rep. Judy Chu led the 28th Congressional District with 67.72% of the vote, while Rep. Ted W. Lieu held 61.06% in the 36th Congressional District. In the 38th Congressional District, Hilda Solis led with 54.90%.
In state Assembly contests, John Harabedian held a commanding lead in the 41st District with 70.57%, while Mike Fong led the 49th District race with 67.86%.
Several local ballot measures also showed strong support in the latest count. Monterey Park’s Measure NDC, which would prohibit data centers citywide, was ahead with 88.21% approval. San Marino’s Measure S led with 64.98%, while Sierra Madre’s Measure GL held 74.40% support. School bond measures in La Cañada Unified and South Pasadena Unified school districts also remained above the thresholds required for passage.
In the Pasadena Glen Community Services District, Measure B was leading with 74.03% support, receiving 57 votes compared with 20 votes against. The measure, which requires two-thirds voter approval, would establish an $800 annual parcel tax on properties within the district to fund road and culvert maintenance and improvements.
Within the City of Los Angeles, Measure CB held a substantial lead with 71.99% support, while Measure TC was ahead with 57.58%. Measure TT, which would increase the transient occupancy tax, trailed with 47.00% support.
With additional vote updates expected, election officials cautioned that the latest figures do not represent final certified results. Measure ER remains one of the most closely watched contests in Los Angeles County, with its final outcome likely dependent on ballots still left to be counted.
The results, updated as of June 8, 2026, reflect Los Angeles County election outcomes only.
