Updated June 28 with final results from the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder.

Los Angeles County certified the June 2 primary election results after processing more than 2.2 million ballots. According to The Los Angeles Times, primary election turnout jumped from 28% of eligible voters in 2022 to 38% in 2026. The share of vote-by-mail ballots dropped slightly.

About half of registered voters in La Verne turned out for the primary elections on June 2.

The Bonita Unified School District's Measure A bond measure failed to gain voter approval. Only about 47% of voters in La Verne and San Dimas supported the $256 million bond, while about 53% voted against it. Because the school bond measure required 55% approval under Proposition 39, it fell short of passage.

Los Angeles County voters approved Measure ER, the Essential Services Restoration Act. The measure, which required a simple majority to pass, will increase the County sales tax by one-half cent for five years to help fund homelessness programs and other county services. Across LA County, 50.64% voters supported the measure. However, only about 33% of La Verne voters voted for the measure.

In the race for California governor, Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra are headed for the November general election. About 33% of La Verne voters voted for Hilton.

In the race for California governor, Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra appear headed for the November general election. California's top-two primary system advances the two highest vote-getters regardless of party affiliation. As of Friday morning, Hilton held a narrow lead over Becerra, though millions of ballots remain uncounted statewide.

Closer to home, Bonita Unified School District's Measure A bond measure failed to gain voter approval. Preliminary results show about 46% of voters in La Verne and San Dimas supported the $256 million bond, while about 54% voted against it. Because school bond measures require 55% approval under Proposition 39, the measure fell short of passage.

Los Angeles County voters also rejected Measure ER, the Essential Services Restoration Act. The measure, which would have increased the county sales tax by one-half cent for five years to help fund homelessness programs and other county services, received 47.70% support and 52.30% opposition. The measure required a simple majority to pass.

Election officials will continue counting vote-by-mail and provisional ballots during the canvass period, meaning vote totals may change before results are certified.
