At any polling place, voters can request an official ballot in English and Chinese, Filipino, Spanish, or Vietnamese.<\/p>\n
Facsimile ballots are also provided in Bengali, Burmese, Hindi, Hmong, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Thai, and Urdu. These are helpful tools for voters who prefer to review election information in their language before marking their official ballot.<\/p>\n
Bilingual poll workers are available to provide in-person language assistance at many polling places. If no one on-site speaks your language, we can connect you with one of our interpreters, who speak hundreds of languages, including American Sign Language.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
\n
Accessible services<\/h2>\n
\n
Accessible entrances<\/b><\/p>\n
The City Hall Voting Center and most polling places are accessible. To confirm accessibility of your polling place, check the back of your Voter Information Pamphlet.<\/p>\n
Accessibility tools<\/b><\/p>\n
Every voting site has page magnifiers, pen grips, seated voting, and wheelchair accessible voting booths. Every site also has an accessible ballot-marking device with audio and touchscreen ballots.<\/p>\n
Personal assistants<\/b><\/p>\n
You can ask a poll worker for help marking your ballot. You can also bring 1 or 2 people (but not your employer or union representative) to help you. Remember, no one can make voting decisions for you.<\/p>\n
Curbside voting<\/b><\/p>\n
To vote \u201ccurbside\u201d, call 415-554-4375 or ask someone to enter the voting site to make the request for you. An elections worker will bring your ballot outside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
\n
In-person voting steps<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
Check in with an elections worker on site<\/b> Provide your name and address to the elections worker with the roster.<\/li>\n
Make ballot language and format choices<\/b> If you have no preference, you will get a paper English\/Chinese ballot.<\/li>\n
Go to a ballot-marking area<\/b> Take your voting materials to a voting booth or accessible voting station. Mark your choices.<\/li>\n
Cast your ballot<\/b> Insert your ballot into the scanning machine at your polling place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Or, if you received a return envelope, insert your ballot into the envelope. Fill out the envelope and drop it in a ballot box.<\/p>\n
On your way out, pick up an \u201cI Voted!\u201d sticker and wear it proudly!<\/p>\n
In general, you don’t need to show identification to vote. Only voters who did not provide identification when registering need to either show it or cast a provisional ballot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
\n
Provisional voting<\/h2>\n
\n
Your name will only be on the roster of voters at your assigned polling place. If you go to another polling place instead, your name will not be on the roster. You can still vote a provisional ballot there, but it may not list all the contests as the ballot at your assigned polling place.<\/p>\n
You will also need to vote provisionally if:<\/p>\n
\n
Our records show you already cast a ballot in the election<\/li>\n
Your registration is missing required information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you vote provisionally, you will receive a ballot and provisional envelope. You must fill out the registration form on the front of the envelope and seal your marked ballot cards inside.<\/p>\n
We will process your registration form and ballot after Election Day. You can track your ballot using the Voter Portal<\/a> or Provisional Ballot Lookup tool<\/a>. (This tool will be available two days after Election Day.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
