What happened
Tempe voters rejected Proposition 424 on November 1, 2026. The proposition sought to raise $50 million through a half-percent sales tax hike to help fill a $24 million budget hole. Unofficial results showed that more than 59% of voters were against the measure.

Why it matters
The rejection means the city must find alternative funding for public safety, transit, and child care services. The campaign supporting the tax warned that these services could suffer if the tax failed.
