State and City Ballot Measures
In some races, why did no candidates qualify for the SFGOP endorsement?
​The SFGOP invites each candidate running for office to make a presentation at our endorsement meeting about their candidacy. After reviewing the positions of each candidate, the SFGOP will make an endorsement. Often, there are no candidates in a particular race  who we think would best represent Republicans if elected. 

Why did you list "no position" next to some propositions?
The SFGOP's bylaws require that 60% of the Committee's members vote to Support or Oppose a measure. For these propositions, neither side received enough votes for us to make a recommendation.

Register to Vote
The deadline to register to vote for any election is before the end of the day on the 15th calendar day before that election. The deadline to register to vote for the November 8, 2016 General Election was  October 24, 2016.
