Both a countywide sales tax increase and a separate sales tax hike proposed within the city of San Diego were falling short of the support needed to pass in early election returns.

Three measures were on the Nov 5. ballot for San Diego voters including Measure E which would raise the sales tax to 8.75% to support city infrastructure projects.

With the first 2024 general election results coming in, the outcome of Measure G, the proposed county sales tax, is starting to take shape. Early voting and mail-in ballots are being tallied, but final results won’t be certified until Dec.
