Lincoln Measure F: 55.58% Yes on One-Cent Sales Tax

LINCOLN, California — November 4, 2026. Measure F shows 10,197 Yes votes and 8,151 No votes in Placer County’s semi-official election-night report. The measure’s actual approval standard matters, and the count is not certified.

Votes and legal threshold

Yes: 10,197 (55.58%). No: 8,151 (44.42%). The difference is 2,046 votes. The official ballot identifies the adoption threshold as simple majority.

What the proposal would change

Measure F would establish a one-cent-per-dollar city sales tax, estimated to bring about $6 million annually for general services. The ballot lists public safety, emergency response, parks and streets among city priorities, and includes citizen oversight and audits.

What remains unresolved

The estimate is not revenue already received; the count remains provisional. The Placer report was printed November 4, 2026, 12:16 a.m. Pacific. It covers election-night precinct returns but not necessarily every eligible ballot. This article is a dated record of the county’s early results, not a newly confirmed November 5 posting.
