SAN FRANCISCO — Mayor Daniel Lurie’s three charter measures were leading after election night, along with measures to fund Muni and Bay Area transit, according to early results from the San Francisco Department of Elections.
A measure directing more money to affordable housing was trailing, and a proposal to create a public bank was too close to call.
These are early results. Ballots are still being counted, the Department of Elections posts updated numbers once a day around 4 p.m., and results will be certified Dec. 3.
The mayor’s charter measures
- Prop. D makes it harder to place local measures on the ballot by quadrupling the number of signatures required. Leading.
- Prop. E gives the city administrator more authority over city contracts. Leading.
- Prop. F gives the mayor more control over city departments. Leading.
“San Franciscans want common sense government and a government that respects your time and your money,” Lurie said on election night, Mission Local reported. He called the measures “a generational opportunity to clean up city hall.”
Transit
- Prop. H, a parcel tax to fund Muni, was leading.
- The Regional Transit Measure, a sales tax in San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties to fund BART and other public transit, was leading.
Housing and the public bank
- Prop. I would require half of the transfer tax on high-value property sales to go to affordable housing. Trailing.
- Prop. B would create a San Francisco public bank. Too close to call, with a few hundred votes separating yes and no.
The Sun-Reporter will update these results as the count continues.
