San Bernardino County voters cast ballots in a 2026 general election that included local mayoral contests, city council races and more than 20 measures, according to results released Tuesday night. The countywide transportation measure received a substantial majority of the reported vote, while candidates in communities across the region established leads in races that will determine local representation.
The election included contests in at least seven cities for mayor, as well as council elections and school district measures. Results cited by NBC Los Angeles were published Nov. 3 and updated at 9:23 p.m. The figures represent the reported totals available at that time, meaning the standings may remain subject to additional counting and election certification.
Transportation measure draws broad support
Measure I, identified as a San Bernardino County Transportation Authority measure, was supported by 68.9% of voters, or 239,266 ballots. The opposition received 31.1%, totaling 108,016 votes. The result placed the transportation proposal among the most consequential countywide questions on the ballot because it was presented to voters throughout the county rather than within a single municipality.

School and city measures also appeared on ballot
Not every measure advanced. Beaumont Unified School District’s Measure B was listed with two votes against and none in favor, producing a reported result of 100% no. In Adelanto, voters backed Measure P by a margin of 68.28% to 31.72%. The Chino measure also showed more than two-thirds support, with 10,647 yes votes compared with 5,120 no votes.
The range of contests illustrates how the election combined countywide policy with decisions affecting individual cities and districts. Residents in different parts of San Bernardino County were choosing among different candidates and measures, while the transportation authority question placed one issue before voters across the county. The reported totals provide an early picture of the election, but the final outcomes depend on the completion of the vote-counting process and official certification.
For San Bernardino residents, the results are part of a broader county election that will shape local councils, municipal leadership and policy decisions in neighboring communities. The available results did not include a separate San Bernardino city contest in the figures provided, but they showed the scope of the county’s local ballot: mayoral races, council seats, school district questions and measures affecting public agencies.
