Tips for mailing your San Francisco ballot. A postmark is an official imprint that indicates where and when the U.S. Postal Service accepted your mailed ballot. The Department of Elections uses the USPS postmark to decide if you mailed your ballot by the Election Day deadline. If it's near Election Day, do not use a mailbox. Your ballot might not be counted. If you must mail it, get a same-day postmark at a post office. If you're not absolutely sure your ballot will be postmarked in time, do not mail it! Instead, use a drop box or go to a polling place.

Screenshot of a San Francisco Chronicle article titled: Endorsement - Prop B is the charter reform no one asked for and SF doesn't really need. Pull quotes say: San Francisco has no shortage of problems. Political cults of personality turning our elected offices into permanent thrones clearly isn't one of them. City leaders and voters should be focused on turning the political temperature down and addressing the real issues facing residents. This one feels like insider politics, not effective governance. We recommend a no vote.
Election information you can trust is out there. But it's probably not what's flooding your mailbox and feed. How can you find it?

League of Women Voters of San Francisco election proposition endorsement - Yes on Prop D! This protects essential government services by restoring a voter-approved tax on large companies with the biggest gap between what they pay their top executive and their typical workers. This will raise about $250 million to $350 million every year. It does not tax small or struggling local businesses. Vote through June 2, 2026.
League of Women Voters of San Francisco - No on Prop C. This gives bigger businesses a big tax break, and our city really can't afford that right now. Already, critical government programs are being cut. If this passes, the city would lose about $30 million to $40 million every year. Lowering business taxes now would only make things worse for San Franciscans. Vote through June 2, 2026.

League of Women Voters of San Francisco - No on Prop B. This strips voters of their right to choose the candidates they want and permanently disqualifies diverse, experienced leaders from serving our communities. A lifetime two-term limit on Mayors and Supervisors is an unnecessarily rigid ban that reduces the accountability and effectiveness of government. Vote through June 2, 2026.
League of Women Voters of San Francisco - Yes on Prop A. San Francisco's aging emergency response infrastructure needs safety upgrades. This funds critical projects to prevent and respond to earthquake damage, and includes public oversight and transparency. It’s a responsible commitment to our community’s safety and future. Vote through June 2, 2026.
