You’re probably not alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco voters will face \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11992466/san-francisco-sees-competing-proposals-to-reform-byzantine-city-commissions\">two competing ballot measures\u003c/a> this November, both aiming to streamline commissions and advisory boards that provide public oversight for city departments and programs. And recently, Mayor London Breed announced her own third proposal, which could go to voters in 2026.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Election Day draws near, the competing campaigns behind the two measures ramp up their efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This November, we have a choice between two measures, Prop. E, which provides real government reform that promotes accountable government, and Prop. D, which reduces citizen participation,” supervisor and mayoral candidate Aaron Peskin told Proposition E supporters rallying outside City Hall on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition E, sponsored by Peskin, would create a task force to evaluate the city’s charter and its nearly 130 commissions and set recommendations for improvements and cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s directly competing with Proposition D, sponsored by the billionaire-backed moderate group TogetherSF. That plan would also create a task force to evaluate commission reform to modify the city charter. However, it would go further by promising to eliminate nearly half the city’s current commissions and advisory boards, which could range from the Arts Commission to the Library Commission or the Homeless Oversight Commission. It also sets a new cap of 65 citizen oversight bodies and gives the mayor more appointment power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This would just blow up so much, it would be hard to even start to figure out how you could start to fix things,” said Ed Harrington, a former controller for San Francisco and general manager of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, who is opposing Proposition D.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of Proposition D say their approach would allow the city to make changes more quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco’s government structure fundamentally needs reform,” said Kanishka Cheng, the founder of TogetherSF. “It’s grown so big, it’s cumbersome and burdensome for anyone to deal with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed recently yanked her support for Proposition D, which has faced scrutiny for its ties to mayoral candidate Mark Farrell. But she’s not backing Proposition E either. Instead, Breed is directing the city controller and city administrator to develop and pass a charter reform measure for the 2026 ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12004619\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2048px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12004619\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supporters for Proposition E rally in front of City Hall in San Francisco on Sept. 11, 2024 \u003ccite>(Sydney Johnson/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The current charter, with its layers of bureaucracy added over the years, has created inefficiency and diffused accountability across our governance structures,” Breed said in a statement. “The good news is that we can fix this by stepping back and reconsidering the Charter as a whole. That time is now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to political analysts like Jim Ross, the issues with San Francisco’s charter and commission system are not a priority for most voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, it’s become a battleground in the fight over checks and balances in San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11998045/what-powers-does-the-san-francisco-mayor-have-and-other-questions-about-the-election\">strong mayor system\u003c/a>, which includes an elected mayor, a board of supervisors and other elected officials like the city attorney, and whether the city should consolidate power into the hands of fewer officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most people in San Francisco have no idea how many boards and commissions there are. And I don’t think they understand the role they play in city government,” Ross said. “These are pretty much meaningless in terms of making the city run more efficiently and effectively. I don’t think it will change a huge amount.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross acknowledges that the city’s charter may benefit from some adjustments. But he said that is being overshadowed by politics in the mayor’s race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11992466,news_11998045,news_11999069\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farrell, a former supervisor and interim mayor of San Francisco, has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11999003/billionaire-backed-moderate-political-group-hit-with-ethics-fine-for-2022-chesa-boudin-recall\">faced criticism\u003c/a> for his ties to TogetherSF. He’s also been \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12002617/mayor-breed-orders-increased-scrutiny-of-san-francisco-contract-work-grantees\">accused of misusing funds\u003c/a> collected through the ballot measure to pay for campaign-related expenses, like interns and other resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Candidate contributions from individuals are capped at $500. But billionaires are pouring big money into the ballot measure, like venture capitalist Michael Moritz, who has given nearly $3 million in total to the ballot initiative. Although campaign rules prohibit Farrell from using ballot funds for his campaign, he still appears in ads supporting the ballot measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have a bunch of these committees, and restructuring them has become a shell vehicle to fund the Mark Farrell-for-mayor campaign,” Ross said. “There might be a real discussion to have there about how the city governs itself, but that hasn’t happened in any of this debate over reform.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cheng said that TogetherSF’s approach is fair and legal and pointed out that several other candidates support ballot measures. The city’s nearly 130 commissions include some potentially redundant bodies, and she said that has slowed city officials’ ability to take action on pressing issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Prop. E doesn’t guarantee that anything changes. It was a measure to support Supervisor Peskin,” Cheng said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Groups like Real Reform SF, which led the rally at City Hall on Wednesday, stressed that Proposition D has significant money — largely from Silicon Valley billionaires like Moritz and donors to conservative causes like William Oberndorf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is not unusual to have somebody running for mayor also attach themselves to a certain kind of proposition and raise money,” Harrington said. “This is different by levels of magnitude, I guess. Would you need $6.5 million to convince people that commissions are a bad thing?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

E, which provides real government reform that promotes accountable government, and Prop. D, which reduces citizen participation,” supervisor and mayoral candidate Aaron Peskin told Proposition E supporters rallying outside City Hall on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition E, sponsored by Peskin, would create a task force to evaluate the city’s charter and its nearly 130 commissions and set recommendations for improvements and cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s directly competing with Proposition D, sponsored by the billionaire-backed moderate group TogetherSF. That plan would also create a task force to evaluate commission reform to modify the city charter. However, it would go further by promising to eliminate nearly half the city’s current commissions and advisory boards, which could range from the Arts Commission to the Library Commission or the Homeless Oversight Commission. It also sets a new cap of 65 citizen oversight bodies and gives the mayor more appointment power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This would just blow up so much, it would be hard to even start to figure out how you could start to fix things,” said Ed Harrington, a former controller for San Francisco and general manager of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, who is opposing Proposition D.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of Proposition D say their approach would allow the city to make changes more quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco’s government structure fundamentally needs reform,” said Kanishka Cheng, the founder of TogetherSF. “It’s grown so big, it’s cumbersome and burdensome for anyone to deal with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed recently yanked her support for Proposition D, which has faced scrutiny for its ties to mayoral candidate Mark Farrell. But she’s not backing Proposition E either. Instead, Breed is directing the city controller and city administrator to develop and pass a charter reform measure for the 2026 ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12004619\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2048px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12004619\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supporters for Proposition E rally in front of City Hall in San Francisco on Sept. 11, 2024 \u003ccite>(Sydney Johnson/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The current charter, with its layers of bureaucracy added over the years, has created inefficiency and diffused accountability across our governance structures,” Breed said in a statement. “The good news is that we can fix this by stepping back and reconsidering the Charter as a whole.

And I don’t think they understand the role they play in city government,” Ross said. “These are pretty much meaningless in terms of making the city run more efficiently and effectively. I don’t think it will change a huge amount.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross acknowledges that the city’s charter may benefit from some adjustments.

This will show whether you’re actually registered to vote and to which address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your voter registration shows as active, and your address and name are all up-to-date, great: You can rest easy in the knowledge that your mail-in ballot will be arriving in several weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Closer to the election, you can also use \u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">voterstatus.sos.ca.gov\u003c/a> to check if your ballot was mailed out. You can also use \u003ca href=\"https://california.ballottrax.net/voter/\">the Where’s My Ballot? Tool\u003c/a> to check whether your ballot has been sent.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What are some reasons I might need to update my voter registration?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Updating your voter registration is also known as “re-registering” to vote — because to update elements of your voter record at \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">registertovote.ca.gov\u003c/a>, you’ll need to register to vote \u003cem>again\u003c/em> as if you were making a new application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a general rule, you’ll definitely need to re-register if your name or address has changed. But if registering to vote when you know you’re already registered feels weird, don’t worry: this won’t be seen as you trying to fraudulently register to vote twice or anything like that. Because your voter registration is tied to your social security number and your driver’s license/state ID card number, your new voter registration will be matched with your \u003cem>existing\u003c/em> voter registration and your details will be updated that way. There will also be a section on the form where you can provide any previous addresses and names you’ve been registered to vote under.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want to change your party preference, you’ll also need to re-register to do that — but remember that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11974134/no-party-preference-how-to-vote-california-presidential-primary\">unlike the primary elections earlier this year,\u003c/a> you can vote for any presidential candidate in a general election — not just the candidate with the party you’re registered with.\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11974134/no-party-preference-how-to-vote-california-presidential-primary\"> \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For smaller changes, your county may allow you to submit a Voter Action Form by mail or online. For example, if San Francisco residents want to make minor changes to their voter registration, they can use \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfelections.org/tools/regupdate/regupd.php\">a form from the San Francisco Department of Elections\u003c/a> to determine whether they can do so online. \u003ca href=\"#countylist\">Find your Bay Area county elections office’s website and contact details\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You should update your voter registration if:\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003ca id=\"change-address-voter-registration\">\u003c/a>If you have moved to a new address within California\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your old address is on your voter registration, then your mail-in ballot will automatically be sent to that address — not your new one. Your voter registration will only reflect your new address if you’ve manually updated it or \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/frequently-asked-questions\">if you’ve updated your address with the DMV.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Register to vote with your new address at \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">registertovote.ca.gov\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state says that you can also send a signed letter to your current county elections official to let them know you’ve moved, along with your date of birth and current address. \u003ca href=\"#countylist\">Find your Bay Area county elections office’s website and contact details\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"change-name-voter-registration\">\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>If you have legally changed your name\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, you’ll need to re-register to vote with your current (new) name. One important thing: Before you do that, the Secretary of State recommends that you \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/frequently-asked-questions\">update your California driver’s license or identification card with the DMV \u003cem>first.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is because when you register to vote online, your county elections office electronically requests a copy of the signature the DMV currently has for you. And if you haven’t updated your signature with the DMV, the signature the agency sends to your county elections office will be the signature for your previous name, not your new one, and your registration will be rejected. \u003ca href=\"https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/driver-licenses-identification-cards/updating-information-on-your-driver-license-or-identification-dl-id-card/\">Read how to update your signature with the DMV.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if you aren’t able to update your details with the DMV first? Then, the state recommends you select “decline” on the application when asked to use your DMV signature to register to vote — but you’ll have to hit “print” and sign the paper application, which you’ll mail it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Register to vote with your new name at \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">registertovote.ca.gov\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If you haven’t voted in a while\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In general,” says the state, you’ll stay registered to vote for as long as you remain at the same address you’re registered with — but “\u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/frequently-asked-questions\">there are cases in which voter registration can be canceled\u003c/a> if a voter has not voted in several consecutive general elections.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if your ballot doesn’t arrive in October, and you suspect it might be because you haven’t voted in many years, contact your county’s elections office ASAP. \u003ca href=\"#countylist\">Jump straight to our list of Bay Area county elections offices\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>When is my last chance to update my voter registration?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you forget to re-register with your new address or name, and your ballot is sent out in October to the wrong address or without your current name, don’t worry. As long as you update your voter registration online at \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">registertovote.ca.gov \u003c/a>before the Oct. 21 deadline, your county will just cancel the ballot that went to your old address and send you a new one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if things get hectic in October and you miss that Oct. 21 to re-register online, you can still update your voter registration — you’ll just have to do it in person at that stage. Go to \u003ca href=\"#countylist\">your county elections office \u003c/a>or an open voting location and ask to register in person via Same Day Registration (also called conditional registration). You can do this up until when polls close at 8 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"register-to-vote-first-time\">\u003c/a>How can I register to vote for the first time?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>You can register to vote if you’re:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A United States citizen and a resident of California,\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>18 years old or older on Election Day\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>People who are currently serving a state or federal prison term for the conviction of a felony cannot vote or register to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can register to vote online at \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">registertovote.ca.gov \u003c/a>before the Oct. 21 deadline. After that, you can register to vote in person at\u003ca href=\"#countylist\"> your county elections office \u003c/a>or an open voting location, where you can register through Same Day Registration (also called conditional registration). You can do this up until when polls close at 8 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re unhoused or have no fixed address, you can still register to vote by providing a description of the place where you spend most of your time if you don’t have a street address, including cross streets. You can \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">register to vote this way via online application\u003c/a> before Oct. 21 or on the paper voter registration application you can pick up at any Department of Motor Vehicles field office, or many post offices, public libraries, government offices or \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/county-elections-offices\">your county elections office\u003c/a> by request (where you can also use Same Day Registration in person.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>My voter registration is fine, but do I have to request a mail-in ballot for Election 2024?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>No — every registered voter in California will automatically receive a ballot in the mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can use that ballot to cast your vote or you can forget that ballot and request a fresh one at a voting location. The one that arrived in the mail will be canceled.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"when-will-my-ballot-arrive\">\u003c/a>When will my ballot arrive?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Oct. 7 is the deadline for Bay Area counties to start mailing out ballots, but many counties will get started several days before that.

And your mail-in ballot will be arriving in your mailbox up to a month before that — as long your voter registration is up-to-date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what if you’re wondering, “How do I know if I’m registered to vote?” whether election officials have your correct mailing address and when voter registration ends? What if you want to register to vote for the very first time and need to know the requirements for registration? And what if you’re registered to vote with a particular political party but you’re considering voting for another party’s presidential candidate?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep reading for everything you need to know about registering to vote or jump straight to:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#change-address-voter-registration\">What should I do if I’ve moved to a new address?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#change-name-voter-registration\">I changed my name — how do I update my voter registration?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#register-to-vote-first-time\">I want to register for the first time\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#when-will-my-ballot-arrive\">When will my ballot arrive?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#vote-for-president\">I’m registered to vote with a specific political party. Do I have to vote for their presidential candidate?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>I’m pretty sure I’m already registered to vote, but how can I check?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>You can check your voter registration status at \u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">voterstatus.sos.ca.gov\u003c/a>. This will show whether you’re actually registered to vote and to which address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your voter registration shows as active, and your address and name are all up-to-date, great: You can rest easy in the knowledge that your mail-in ballot will be arriving in several weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Closer to the election, you can also use \u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">voterstatus.sos.ca.gov\u003c/a> to check if your ballot was mailed out. You can also use \u003ca href=\"https://california.ballottrax.net/voter/\">the Where’s My Ballot? Tool\u003c/a> to check whether your ballot has been sent.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What are some reasons I might need to update my voter registration?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Updating your voter registration is also known as “re-registering” to vote — because to update elements of your voter record at \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">registertovote.ca.gov\u003c/a>, you’ll need to register to vote \u003cem>again\u003c/em> as if you were making a new application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a general rule, you’ll definitely need to re-register if your name or address has changed. But if registering to vote when you know you’re already registered feels weird, don’t worry: this won’t be seen as you trying to fraudulently register to vote twice or anything like that. Because your voter registration is tied to your social security number and your driver’s license/state ID card number, your new voter registration will be matched with your \u003cem>existing\u003c/em> voter registration and your details will be updated that way. There will also be a section on the form where you can provide any previous addresses and names you’ve been registered to vote under.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want to change your party preference, you’ll also need to re-register to do that — but remember that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11974134/no-party-preference-how-to-vote-california-presidential-primary\">unlike the primary elections earlier this year,\u003c/a> you can vote for any presidential candidate in a general election — not just the candidate with the party you’re registered with.\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11974134/no-party-preference-how-to-vote-california-presidential-primary\"> \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For smaller changes, your county may allow you to submit a Voter Action Form by mail or online. For example, if San Francisco residents want to make minor changes to their voter registration, they can use \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfelections.org/tools/regupdate/regupd.php\">a form from the San Francisco Department of Elections\u003c/a> to determine whether they can do so online. \u003ca href=\"#countylist\">Find your Bay Area county elections office’s website and contact details\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You should update your voter registration if:\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>\u003ca id=\"change-address-voter-registration\">\u003c/a>If you have moved to a new address within California\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your old address is on your voter registration, then your mail-in ballot will automatically be sent to that address — not your new one. Your voter registration will only reflect your new address if you’ve manually updated it or \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/frequently-asked-questions\">if you’ve updated your address with the DMV.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Register to vote with your new address at \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">registertovote.ca.gov\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state says that you can also send a signed letter to your current county elections official to let them know you’ve moved, along with your date of birth and current address. \u003ca href=\"#countylist\">Find your Bay Area county elections office’s website and contact details\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca id=\"change-name-voter-registration\">\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>If you have legally changed your name\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, you’ll need to re-register to vote with your current (new) name. One important thing: Before you do that, the Secretary of State recommends that you \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/frequently-asked-questions\">update your California driver’s license or identification card with the DMV \u003cem>first.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is because when you register to vote online, your county elections office electronically requests a copy of the signature the DMV currently has for you. And if you haven’t updated your signature with the DMV, the signature the agency sends to your county elections office will be the signature for your previous name, not your new one, and your registration will be rejected. \u003ca href=\"https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/driver-licenses-identification-cards/updating-information-on-your-driver-license-or-identification-dl-id-card/\">Read how to update your signature with the DMV.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if you aren’t able to update your details with the DMV first? Then, the state recommends you select “decline” on the application when asked to use your DMV signature to register to vote — but you’ll have to hit “print” and sign the paper application, which you’ll mail it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Register to vote with your new name at \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">registertovote.ca.gov\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If you haven’t voted in a while\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In general,” says the state, you’ll stay registered to vote for as long as you remain at the same address you’re registered with — but “\u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/frequently-asked-questions\">there are cases in which voter registration can be canceled\u003c/a> if a voter has not voted in several consecutive general elections.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if your ballot doesn’t arrive in October, and you suspect it might be because you haven’t voted in many years, contact your county’s elections office ASAP. \u003ca href=\"#countylist\">Jump straight to our list of Bay Area county elections offices\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>When is my last chance to update my voter registration?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you forget to re-register with your new address or name, and your ballot is sent out in October to the wrong address or without your current name, don’t worry. As long as you update your voter registration online at \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">registertovote.ca.gov \u003c/a>before the Oct. 21 deadline, your county will just cancel the ballot that went to your old address and send you a new one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if things get hectic in October and you miss that Oct. 21 to re-register online, you can still update your voter registration — you’ll just have to do it in person at that stage. Go to \u003ca href=\"#countylist\">your county elections office \u003c/a>or an open voting location and ask to register in person via Same Day Registration (also called conditional registration). You can do this up until when polls close at 8 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"register-to-vote-first-time\">\u003c/a>How can I register to vote for the first time?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>You can register to vote if you’re:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A United States citizen and a resident of California,\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>18 years old or older on Election Day\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>People who are currently serving a state or federal prison term for the conviction of a felony cannot vote or register to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can register to vote online at \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">registertovote.ca.gov \u003c/a>before the Oct. 21 deadline. After that, you can register to vote in person at\u003ca href=\"#countylist\"> your county elections office \u003c/a>or an open voting location, where you can register through Same Day Registration (also called conditional registration). You can do this up until when polls close at 8 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re unhoused or have no fixed address, you can still register to vote by providing a description of the place where you spend most of your time if you don’t have a street address, including cross streets. You can \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">register to vote this way via online application\u003c/a> before Oct. 21 or on the paper voter registration application you can pick up at any Department of Motor Vehicles field office, or many post offices, public libraries, government offices or \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/county-elections-offices\">your county elections office\u003c/a> by request (where you can also use Same Day Registration in person.)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>My voter registration is fine, but do I have to request a mail-in ballot for Election 2024?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>No — every registered voter in California will automatically receive a ballot in the mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can use that ballot to cast your vote or you can forget that ballot and request a fresh one at a voting location. The one that arrived in the mail will be canceled.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"when-will-my-ballot-arrive\">\u003c/a>When will my ballot arrive?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Oct. 7 is the deadline for Bay Area counties to start mailing out ballots, but many counties will get started several days before that.

It came to a good resolution, which is that the Chancellor at the time decided he would convene the academic senate and that there would be rational discussion about where housing should be located.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin is also campaigning on promises to better protect renters from evictions and provide more rental relief to keep people housed in affordable units.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>His personal recovery journey shapes his views of San Francisco’s rebound\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Peskin has been sober from alcohol for more than three years and said his journey with recovery has shaped the way he views both himself and his city.

I spent the last few years trying to reach across to get things done and let down that defensiveness,” Peskin said. “I also just wake up much more grateful now. That whole ‘doom and gloom loop’ that people like the harp on is not how I’m feeling. I know we have real challenges, but I want to make things better, and that’s the experience that I’m living now.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

But the Board President defends his record, saying he’s approved over 100,000 units throughout his tenure on the Board and has remained progressive, pragmatic, and focused on his own district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12003340\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1999px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240905-AaronPeskinPB-10-BL_qed.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12003340\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240905-AaronPeskinPB-10-BL_qed.jpg\" alt=\"A white man with gray hair and a gray beard, wearing glasses and a navy suit sits, with a finger extended, while speaking into a radio microphone in a sound studio.\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240905-AaronPeskinPB-10-BL_qed.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240905-AaronPeskinPB-10-BL_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240905-AaronPeskinPB-10-BL_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240905-AaronPeskinPB-10-BL_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240905-AaronPeskinPB-10-BL_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/240905-AaronPeskinPB-10-BL_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Board of Supervisors president Aaron Peskin speaks with Political Breakdown hosts Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos at the KQED offices in San Francisco on Sept. 5, 2024. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I have sided with developers a supermajority of the time. But in due process, there are people who make good arguments about displacement, gentrification, and building market-rate housing in low-income communities that will face adverse impacts of that,” Peskin said. “I honor those things. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin’s housing activism goes back to his college years at UC Santa Cruz, when he sued the university over its plans to build student dorms on undeveloped land, arguing that the project’s environmental report was inadequate. Peskin said the issue was “not with building housing, but where it would be built. It came to a good resolution, which is that the Chancellor at the time decided he would convene the academic senate and that there would be rational discussion about where housing should be located.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin is also campaigning on promises to better protect renters from evictions and provide more rental relief to keep people housed in affordable units.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>His personal recovery journey shapes his views of San Francisco’s rebound\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Peskin has been sober from alcohol for more than three years and said his journey with recovery has shaped the way he views both himself and his city. He said the experience has taught him about working with the community, taking accountability and choosing hope at a time when the city is struggling to combat crises in housing, public health and economic vitality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the most profound things I realized is I’m not in this by myself. I spent the last few years trying to reach across to get things done and let down that defensiveness,” Peskin said. “I also just wake up much more grateful now. That whole ‘doom and gloom loop’ that people like the harp on is not how I’m feeling. I know we have real challenges, but I want to make things better, and that’s the experience that I’m living now.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Farrell, who recently won the endorsement from the Chinese American Democratic Club, has leaned into Chinese American voters’ frustration and fears around public safety.

Many of the new members have made broad calls for increased public safety and measures that give more powers to the mayor and police.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"san-francisco-mayor-election\"]It also comes as Asian representation among San Francisco officials has dropped — and none of the leading candidates in the race are Chinese American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Almost 20 years ago, only a handful of San Francisco candidates even had literature of mailers in Chinese, and they were usually Chinese and Asian American candidates,” said former San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim, who now serves as the California director of the Working Families Party. “Now, almost all campaigns try to hire Chinese bilingual organizers and come up with the best Chinese name” to appear on the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco has given candidates the option to print their name — or a chosen name — in Chinese characters on the ballot for nearly 25 years in an attempt to appeal to Chinese-speaking voters. While \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/san-francisco-cracks-appropriation-chinese-names-gains-ballot-box-rcna128176\">the policy has met controversy\u003c/a>, it symbolizes how any serious candidate must make inroads with Chinese-speaking communities to have a shot in the race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the end of the day, it’s really about the network and community. Who are your neighbors and people you’re playing mahjong with and doing tai chi with? What are they saying? That’s how it’s really being relayed back to Asian voters,” said Supervisor Connie Chan, who is currently the only AAPI supervisor and running for reelection. “This is why endorsements are so critical and why the people that you know are so important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim, Chan, along with Assmeblymember Phil Ting and former Supervisor Gordon Mar are all backing Peskin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12002099\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12002099\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240827-AAPI-VOTERS-SJ-01-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240827-AAPI-VOTERS-SJ-01-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240827-AAPI-VOTERS-SJ-01-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240827-AAPI-VOTERS-SJ-01-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240827-AAPI-VOTERS-SJ-01-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240827-AAPI-VOTERS-SJ-01-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240827-AAPI-VOTERS-SJ-01-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supervisor Aaron Peskin hands out campaign fliers in multiple languages while visiting store owners on Clement Street in the Inner Richmond on Aug. 14, 2024. \u003ccite>(Sydney Johnson/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Breed has support from State Attorney General Rob Bonta, Sheriff Paul Miyamota and Board of Education Commissioner Jenny Lam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite their backing, Breed faces a tough reelection battle this fall.

He later apologized for the song.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What they really need to do is listen to Chinese voters and understand their needs. They need to provide campaign information so voters become educated, and then they have to get out the vote with Chinese volunteers,” said Russell Jeung, an Asian American studies professor who teaches at San Francisco State University. “That’s the voter education our communities need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A wide range of views\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>From 2010 to 2020, the Asian population in San Francisco had the highest growth rate among all ethnicities in the city, according to US Census data, and Chinese residents make up nearly 22% of the city’s overall population, making them a key voting bloc for mayoral hopefuls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, like any major demographic, opinions vary widely within the Chinese American community on issues like public safety and how that should be addressed. Having more representation within campaigns is important to understanding that, said Jeung.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are seeing a range of different political views, and that, to me, shows the maturation of the community. You can’t just talk about the stereotypical Asian vote,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many Chinese American voters, Supervisor Chan said, improving public safety isn’t about simply increasing police budgets or policies around harsher prosecutions. Often, she said, people’s general well-being — like the ability to pay the bills, access healthcare, walk on clean streets, attend good schools — shape feelings and conversations around safety and are part of solutions voters want to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What they consider as a safety issue is not just about incarceration or prosecution. It’s actually really more of a day-to-day, like, do I feel safe? Can I go shopping? Can I do my daily routine without being interrupted or any type of incident?” Chan said. “Those are more their top concerns.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12000558\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12000558\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-02-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-02-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-02-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-02-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-02-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-02-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-02-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Signs for San Francisco mayoral candidates Ahsha Safaí and London Breed outside Hon’s Wun-Tun House in Chinatown in San Francisco on Aug. 16, 2024. \u003ccite>(Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For friends and San Francisco natives Richard Fong and David Zhao, public safety is a concern.

Having more representation within campaigns is important to understanding that, said Jeung.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are seeing a range of different political views, and that, to me, shows the maturation of the community. You can’t just talk about the stereotypical Asian vote,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many Chinese American voters, Supervisor Chan said, improving public safety isn’t about simply increasing police budgets or policies around harsher prosecutions. Often, she said, people’s general well-being — like the ability to pay the bills, access healthcare, walk on clean streets, attend good schools — shape feelings and conversations around safety and are part of solutions voters want to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What they consider as a safety issue is not just about incarceration or prosecution. It’s actually really more of a day-to-day, like, do I feel safe? Can I go shopping? Can I do my daily routine without being interrupted or any type of incident?” Chan said. “Those are more their top concerns.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12000558\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12000558\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-02-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-02-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-02-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-02-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-02-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-02-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240816-BREED-AAPI-MERCHANTS-MD-02-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Signs for San Francisco mayoral candidates Ahsha Safaí and London Breed outside Hon’s Wun-Tun House in Chinatown in San Francisco on Aug. 16, 2024. \u003ccite>(Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For friends and San Francisco natives Richard Fong and David Zhao, public safety is a concern.
