The California Secretary of State Elections Division publishes the deciding information as the official results for the ballot measure specified in the market question in the 2026 election, released after the state's certification process is complete. The outcome is Yes if the official results list the measure as passed, or show more Yes votes than No votes, and No otherwise. Only the first official certification of results counts: if a recount is conducted before certification, the final certified recount result is used, and any later litigation, legal challenge, or change to the result after the first certification has no effect. If the measure is withdrawn before the vote or invalidated before certification, the outcome is No, and a tie is decided under state law, which in most cases means the measure fails. The outcome becomes final when the certified results are released, and if their release is delayed, resolution waits until they are published.
