San Francisco and State Election Results

Preliminary results are in for the November 4 elections, including San Francisco’s soda tax and an increase to the city’s minimum wage.

The soda tax (Prop G) received a majority vote of 55 percent, but not the two-thirds majority vote needed to pass.

Minimum wage workers will see a gradual a pay increase up to $15 with the overwhelming passage of Prop J, while voters narrowly rejected Prop G, which would have added a tax on residential property sold within five years of purchase. Supporters say it would have helped reduce real estate speculation in San Francisco.
