Voting has begun so cast your ballot ASAP! Make sure you are registered to vote, know how to do ranked choice voting, have a plan to vote, and remember to vote for the UESF-endorsed candidates!
In addition to using our UESF Voter Guide to help you vote, here are some other helpful voter guides: SF Labor Council, CA Federation of Labor, CFT, and CTA.
The last day to register to vote and receive a ballot by mail is October 21. You can still register and vote after this deadline, but you will need to do so in person.
San Francisco uses a voting system called ranked choice voting that allows voters to rank up to 10 candidates for certain offices, including for Mayor and the Board of Supervisors.
