March 5, 2024 Primary Election

Registered voters will receive their ballots by February 5, 2024.

March 5, 2024 is the LAST DAY to return mail-in-ballots and vote in-person. To ensure your ballot is counted either:

  1. Use a Ballot Drop Box: You don’t have to go far from home to vote. Drop your completed ballot at one of 34 Official Ballot Drop Box locations across San Francisco on your way to school, work, or even when walking your dog.

  2. Go to a Polling Place: If you prefer to vote in person, polling places will be open for in-person voting from 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM on Election Day. Avoid long lines by voting early. You can visit any available location to cast your ballot or to return your completed Vote by Mail ballot. Vote in person at these locations.

Voters can register and then vote at their county’s elections office, polling place, or vote centers up until 8:00 PM on Election Day. Click here for more information on Same-Day Registration.
