Mountains Community Hospital Measure Q: Yes at 67.48%, Just Above Two-Thirds

SAN BERNARDINO MOUNTAINS, California — November 2026 general election. Measure Q, a hospital bond proposal serving San Bernardino mountain communities, is narrowly above its two-thirds voter approval threshold in the early count.

Unofficial count

The NBC Los Angeles tracker lists 2,917 Yes votes (67.48%) and 1,406 No (32.52%). The legal passage requirement is two-thirds Yes, so the reported share is approximately 0.81 percentage points above the threshold.

Why the result matters

The measure would authorize up to $61 million in general obligation bonds for Mountains Community Hospital infrastructure, emergency department modernization and medical facilities. It proposes an estimated levy of $25 per $100,000 of assessed property value while bonds are outstanding. Hospital officials describe a need for structural, safety and disaster-resilience upgrades. These are planned uses and projections, not construction already completed. A preliminary Yes share slightly above the threshold is not certified passage.

Source cutoff and remaining count

These totals are shown in the live NBC Los Angeles San Bernardino County election tracker accessed on November 5, 2026. Its dynamic race figures do not disclose the exact county posting time for each contest. The result is not an independently confirmed newly issued county canvass bulletin and no outcome is certified. The San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters began the canvass November 4 and plans to certify by December 3. Readers should check updated county returns for subsequent changes.
