Real-Time Election Results 2024: Pacifica Measure M, San Mateo County
Often called a hotel tax, TOTs are levied on people staying in hotels and other short-term lodging. Pacifica's current hotel tax rate is 12 percent. Measure M sought to raise the tax by 3 percent, generating an estimated $720,000 in extra revenue annually.
Proponents of the measure argued the increase would bring in more locally controlled funding from visitors, without burdening residents. Opponents argued the higher tax could deter guests and impact local businesses.
The polls closed across Pacifica and the state of California at 8 p.m., with the possible exception of Vote Centers that have lines. Anyone who is in line at 8 p.m. will be allowed to vote.
