We focus on San Francisco, but if you are in the Bay Area we recommend voting with Bay Rising Action's voter guide for Oakland, Alameda, Contra Costa, Sonoma and beyond!

Voting Logistics

Register to Vote at any Post Office or online at RegisterToVote.ca.gov. If you’re registered by October 19th, you’ll get a ballot in the mail. But in SF you can always register in person at City Hall up until Election Day. You can also register at any polling place on Election Day: just ask to cast a provisional ballot. Call 415-554-4375 for more info.

WHEN?

October 5th: Early voting starts at City Hall, weekdays 8am–5pm.

October 24th: Weekend early voting starts at City Hall, Saturdays and Sundays 10am–4pm.

November 3rd: Election Day! Polls open 7am–8pm. If you’re in line by 8pm you can vote. You can also drop your ballot off at any polling place on Election Day.

WHERE?

Everyone will get a ballot in the mail! Make sure yours is coming to the right place by checking your registration at SFElections.org.

Drop off your ballot early at one of the 37 official ballot drop boxes across the City, starting October 5th through 8pm on Election Day, November 3rd.

Mail your ballot if you can't drop it off. You don't need a stamp, but make sure you sign the envelope and that it's postmarked by November 3rd.

If you’re going to mail your ballot, mail it as early as possible. And don’t forget to sign your ballot envelope!

Where’s your polling place? Check https://SFelections.org/tools/map_poll_time/, call 311, or just go vote at City Hall.

WHAT ELSE?

Did you forget to register? You can still vote! Go to City Hall or your polling place and tell them you want to "register conditionally and vote provisionally!"

People with felony convictions can vote! You can vote even if you’re on parole. Re-register at Restore Your Vote.

Youth can (almost) vote! If you’re 16 or 17, pre-register to vote and your registration will automatically be activated when you turn 18.

Ranked Choice Voting Strategy

SF supervisor races use Ranked Choice Voting (RCV), which allows you to vote for multiple candidates by ranking them. If your 1st choice gets eliminated, your vote gets moved over to your second choice, and so on. This keeps happening until one contender gets 50% of remaining votes.

We can use RCV strategically: to play defense. Sometimes it makes sense to cast an RCV vote for a candidate you don’t love in order to block a candidate you hate.

For instance, juuuuuust hypothetically, say you really don’t want District 8 supervisor candidate and accused sexual assaulter Manny Yekutiel to win. Filling in all 3 spots on your ballot with other candidates in an anybody-but-Manny strategy is the best way to make sure your vote counts to keep Manny out of City Hall. Use ranked choice voting to vote your heart and your brain.

Dear San Francisco,

This voter guide is our love letter, not just to the San Francisco that is, but to the San Francisco that could be - to the world that could be and to the messy and beautiful political process that can get us there.

We believe in voting for a future in which normal people can afford to live here, public services have the funding they need, and those with the most pay their fair share.

This ballot gives us many opportunities to say hell yeah. And there is plenty of BS to vote against too. To wit:

Send a progressive champion to DC by voting for Connie Chan for Congress!
Bring neighborhood voices to City hall by voting for Gary McCoy (#1) and Michael Nguyen (#2) for District 8 Supervisor and J.R. Eppler and D.J. Brookter for District 10 Supervisor.
Continue the work of the SFUSD teachers strike by voting for Virginia Cheung, Ryan Hazelton, and Reina Tello for School Board.
Send a shot across the (yacht) bow to fund schools, hospitals, and our social safety net. Vote Hell Yes! on Prop 40: The Billionaire Tax.
Bring that same energy home by voting Hell Yes! on Prop I: Affordable Housing Guarantee Act, to spend luxury real estate tax money on affordable housing.
Foil the plot to weaken our democracy by voting Hell No! on Prop 41, Prop 42, and Prop 43, the tech billionaires’ poison pill sabotage of state and local wealth taxes.
Clear out the mayor’s pile of anti-democratic ballot measures: Vote Hell No! on Prop A, Prop D, Prop E, and Prop F.

There’s scads of state and local candidate races on the ballot too. Add in the possibility of switching things up nationwide, and this election is poised to be legendary. The paper guide is all you need, but we have even more details and analysis below!

Let's win this thing for our neighborhoods, our schools, and our city.

Love,

The League

Meet the SF League of Pissed Off Voters

We're a bunch of political geeks in a torrid love affair with San Francisco. The League formed in 2004 with the goal of building a progressive governing majority in our lifetime. Our contribution is this voter guide⁠: a secret decoder ring for SF politics. All of us lucky enough to enjoy the San Francisco magic owe it to our City to fight to keep it diverse, just, and healthy.

This voter guide (our 36th in SF!) is thoroughly researched and thoroughly biased. It’s how we educate our friends on the issues, excite pissed-off progressive voters, and remind sellout politicians that we’re paying attention.

Hang Out with the League!
