Why are there only two Democrats on my ballot?
Proposition 14, passed by the voters, allows the top-two vote earners in the primary election, regardless of party, to go on the ballot in November. All other candidates are eliminated and do not appear on the November ballot.
How are SFGOP Endorsements Determined?
Prior to each election, the SFGOP interviews local candidates and studies City ballot measures, and then votes whether to make recommendations to our voters. Voter recommendations for State Candidates and State Propositions are made by the California Republican Party.
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, an endorsement vote will be held by the SFGOP. 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.
