Frequently asked questions about voting

1. Who can vote in San Francisco?

To vote in San Francisco, you must be a San Francisco resident and a registered voter. If you are not already registered, you will not be able to vote today (deadline to register was October 21).

2. How do I find out if I am registered to vote?

To find out if you are registered to vote, use the voter registration on-line look-up, or call the Department of Elections at (415) 554-4375.

3. Do I need to show identification when I vote?

No. You do not need to show identification when you vote.

4. What is Ranked-Choice Voting?

Ranked-Choice voting was passed by the voters as an amendment to the City Charter in March 2002. Ranked-choice voting allows San Francisco voters to rank up to three candidates for a single office. This makes it possible to elect local officials by majority vote without the need for a separate run-off election.
