For Immediate Release
SAN FRANCISCO, Thursday, October 22, 2026 – San Francisco voters can make voting part of their weekend plans. The Department of Elections will open the City Hall Voting Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on October 24–25 and October 31–November 1, offering two weekends of in-person voting services before the November 3 election.

Visitors can register to vote, cast a ballot, obtain a replacement ballot, or drop off a completed vote-by-mail ballot. Eligible non-citizen residents can also register and vote in the Board of Education election.

“Opening the Voting Center on weekends gives San Franciscans more opportunities to vote at a time that fits their schedules,” said Director John Arntz. “Whether you need to register, request a replacement ballot, use accessible voting equipment, or simply return your ballot, our staff are ready to help. We encourage voters to take advantage of these weekend hours and make their voices heard.”

At the Voting Center, voters can choose a paper ballot or use accessible voting equipment with touchscreen or audio options. In-person assistance, official ballots, and informational materials are available in multiple languages.

Voters who have difficulty entering the Voting Center can request curbside voting by calling (415) 558-6100 or having a companion request assistance on their behalf.

Voters unable to visit may authorize another person to pick up their ballot using the Ballot Pick-up Authorization Form, available at sfelections.gov/forms.

Beginning Saturday, October 24, the City Hall Voting Center will be open every day through Election Day:

• Weekends, October 24–25 and October 31–November 1: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Weekdays, October 26–30 and Monday, November 2: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
