Sunnyvale voters have approved two additional city charter amendments, Measures H and I, The Silicon Valley Voice reported in a Nov. 8 results update. KQED’s Associated Press tally, updated at 9:59 p.m. PT on Nov. 9, showed Measure H passing with 25,445 yes votes, or 71%, to 10,381 no, or 28.9%, and Measure I passing with 21,938 yes, or 62.4%, to 13,177 no, or 37.5%. The results remain unofficial. Both measures needed a simple majority.
Why it matters: The Voice described Measure H as a charter amendment that gives the city manager settlement authority, and Measure I as a change in how the city uses elections to fill City Council vacancies. The Nov. 8 Voice update, citing the registrar, put H at 71.19% yes and I at 62.82% yes, slightly different from the later KQED percentages.
The same Voice update said about 186,550 Santa Clara County ballots still needed to be counted as of Sunday night, and that the registrar planned another update around 5 p.m. Monday. The results will not be official until the county completes its canvass.
