CALIFORNIA58 NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ELECTIONS — NOVEMBER 6, 2026. In the published election returns for Shasta–Tehama–Trinity Joint Community College District, the No side leads on Measure C for the Shasta–Tehama–Trinity Joint Community College District, a proposed $129.63 million public-college capital bond. The recorded tally is 20,345 Yes votes (45.61%) and 24,260 No (54.39%), a difference of 3,915 votes. These figures are reproduced from the currently available local-measure tally, checked November 6; they have not been independently verified as a newer November 6 canvass release.

What the proposal means

The ballot proposal would fund construction, renovation and other capital improvements at community-college facilities. The bond amount represents authorized borrowing, not annual school operating revenue and not the amount collected from residents in any one county. The reported results refer to a multi-county college district, not solely to Tehama County voters. This distinction is crucial when comparing county-level measures or turnout figures. State education bond election rules include heightened approval thresholds, and the early Yes share here is below 50%.

How voters should interpret the count

The reported 44,605 valid Yes/No selections cover this specific ballot question, not the total number of residents registered throughout Tehama County or neighboring areas. Voters may skip individual questions, and school district boundaries often do not follow city boundaries. The current numerical leader does not establish that all eligible mail and provisional ballots have been counted or that a measure has been legally implemented.

Related local elections

The same general election features Los Molinos Unified’s smaller $9.8 million bond and Red Bluff Joint Union High School District’s $19 million proposal. Each finances a different agency, uses a separate tax base, has different voting boundaries and is not a substitute for the region-wide Measure C count.

Counting, sources and certification

The Tehama County Elections Office maintains official candidate and ballot-measure materials and links to the election-results service. The public measure results and description supply the candidate-neutral Yes/No tally and measure text used in this article; the statewide local-measure index offers comparative context. California counties continue their legal canvass before certifying results, and a precinct reporting percentage is not the same as a finished ballot count. Readers should use an election-office timestamp when comparing later reports.

Source note: Tehama County election documents and publicly posted November 2026 local-measure tallies, reviewed November 6. The date is the article’s publication date, not a claim that the county issued new figures today. No endorsement of either ballot choice.
