Marjan Philhour leads by just 87 votes in the race for San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors District 1 seat, representing the Richmond District.

The politically moderate candidate and former senior advisor to Mayor London Breed is closely trailed by Connie Chan, a progressive Democrat and former aide to San Francisco Supervisor Aaron Peskin.

After six rounds of ranked-choice voting, the race remains too close to call. The city still has an estimated 61,000 ballots to process, 51,000 of which are vote by mail, 9,000 provisional and 900 conditional voter registration ballots.

The San Francisco Department of Elections will likely begin counting provisional ballots from District 1 on Friday and provisional ballots from the remaining districts over the weekend.
