Register to Vote

  • Are you registered to vote in San Francisco? Is your information is up to date?

  • Need to update your home address?

  • Same home address, but need to add/update a mailing address?

    • The mailing address on your voter file needs to be the address where you plan to receive your ballot. Even if your mail is being forwarded to a different address, USPS will not forward your ballot along with it.

    • Complete a Registration Update Form

  • Need to register to vote? Monday, October 19, 2020 is the deadline to register online

  • Missed the deadline to register online? You can still vote!

    • Same Day Voter Registration (also known as Conditional Voter Registration) is state law. It means that you can register and vote on Election Day. Head to your Polling Place and let them know you want to “register conditionally and vote provisionally”.

  • Still registered at a previous address within San Francisco, you can still vote!

    • Visit your assigned Polling Place based on your new address, so your ballot includes all the contests in which you’re eligible to vote.

Ways to Vote

By mail

  • You do not need to apply to receive a mail ballot! All registered voters will be sent a vote-by-mail ballot in early October. It will be sent to your home address, unless your voter file has a different mailing address.

  • Be sure to follow the instructions in the packet to make sure your vote is counted! And return your ballot on time — either by mail (postmarked by November 3) or by dropping off a polling place (byNovember 3 by 8pm)

In person before Election Day

  • The City Hall Voting Center opens October 5 for voting. To protect public health, it will be located the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on 99 Grove Street (between Polk and Larkin).

  • It is open every weekday: October 5 - November 2, from 8am - 5pm

  • It is open two weekends: October 24 - 25 and October 31 - November 1, from 10am - 4pm.

In person on Election Day (November 3)

  • Find your Polling Place or vote at City Hall Voting Center.
