Rocklin Measure C: 52.83% Yes on Proposed Half-Cent Sales Tax

ROCKLIN, California — November 4, 2026. Measure C shows 9,944 Yes votes and 8,879 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: 9,944 (52.83%). No: 8,879 (47.17%). The difference is 1,065 votes. The official ballot identifies the adoption threshold as simple majority.

What the proposal would change

Measure C proposes a half-percentage-point sales tax for general city services, estimated by city officials to generate about $8 million per year. Public safety, parks and wildfire preparedness are cited as examples of needs, but revenue is general-purpose under the ballot wording.

What remains unresolved

Yes holds a narrow early majority, which is not the same as certification or collection of a new tax. 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.
