California Primary 2026: Governor, LA mayor race and Measure ER in spotlight

TL;DR
Election Day in California centers on the governor’s race, a pivotal Los Angeles mayoral contest, a crowded Los Angeles County sheriff race, and Measure ER—a proposed five-year, half-cent sales tax to fund healthcare and essential services. Polls are open until 8 p.m.; LA Metro is offering free rides to the polls and ballot drop-off options are available at select stations. If no candidate wins a majority in the primary, the top two finishers advance to a November runoff (governor and sheriff are among the key contests).
