Measure P, which NBC Bay Area lists as a city services sales tax, had 1,085 yes votes (58.11%) to 782 no. ABC7 identifies it as the American Canyon Sales Tax.
St. Helena's Measure S (City Services) had 690 yes votes (57.6%) to 508 no in NBC's count. ABC7 lists it as the St. Helena Sales Tax.
All results are unofficial election-night and early-morning counts as of Wednesday, Nov. 4. Counties keep counting mail and provisional ballots for days, and certification comes later, so margins can shift, especially in close contests.

Measure P on Marin County's Nov. 3 ballot would add a 15-year special parcel tax of 5 cents per square foot of building area — about $100 a year for a typical single-family home and capped at $5,000 — to expand affordable child care. It needs a simple majority.
American Canyon's Measure P would raise the city's sales tax from 7.75% to 8.75%. The city says that would bring in about $3.7 million a year. Here's what's at stake on Nov. 3.
