The special election to renew and enlarge the parcel tax to fund the local Sonoma Valley Hospital, Measure E, ends today. Votes will be tallied after the polls close this evening.
Voters have been sending in absentee ballots for the past month, and typically those ballots are counted first and the results released quickly. Historically, the absentee ballots are an excellent indication of the final election results. In order to pass, the measure must receive more than two thirds of the vote marked “YES” and during the past election a few months ago, it missed that target by a few percentage points.
The SUN has endorsed the measure and its Editorial Board has urged a YES vote on Measure E.
