The June 7, 2016, election is really the culmination of voting, because people started doing in-person and mail-in voting in early May. For those who have not yet participated, we have compiled some information to help you this voting season.

TO REGISTER

By the time you read this, it will be too late to register if you’re not already registered. The deadline was May 23. To register for future elections, including the all-important November election, visit registertovote.ca.gov.


WHERE TO VOTE

If you don’t already know where to vote, you can look up your nearest polling place in an online directory. The Department of Elections has a polling place lookup service at sfelections.org/tools/pollsite.

WHEN TO VOTE

Early voting — whether by mail or at City Hall — began 29 days before the election.

There’s still time to vote before or on election day. You can vote in-person at City Hall Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. (closed May 30); Saturday–Sunday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. (enter City Hall on Grove Street); and 7 a.m.–8 p.m. on election day, Tuesday, June 7.
