A countywide sales tax increase and a separate sales tax hike in the city of San Diego both appeared to be falling short of the support each would need to pass based on early election returns Tuesday night.

Sales tax measures in San Diego and across the county were trailing on election night despite support from elected officials, including San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria.

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.
