3 St. Helena Measures Likely Voted Down, More Napa County Election Results

The Election Division has counted 67 percent of ballots and expects to have counted 95 percent by Monday.

NAPA COUNTY, CA — Wednesday afternoon, an estimated 22,000 ballots still need to be counted from the Nov. 5 general election in Napa County, Registrar of Voters John Tuteur said.

"Napa County voters continued the trend of waiting until the final days to cast their ballot," Tuteur said. "This Third Unofficial Post Election Night Results contains approximately 67% of all ballots cast, which means that turnout might reach 78% for this election."

3 St. Helena Ballot Measures Likely Voted Down

Results on election night and since then have shown that St. Helena residents likely voted down a trio of ballot measures. Measure B sought a zoning amendment for an agritourism resort. Measure A1 sought a city charter. Measure A2 sought a real estate property transfer tax on sales over $1 million.
