Gator Votes

General Election Day - Vote at SF State's Voting Center

Are you planning to be on campus this Election Day? Is your voting place Voting Precinct: 9723?

Make your voice heard by voting at our on-campus polling station or drop your ballot off at the Voting Center at the Annex 1 Student Center on November 5th if this is your county. 

To find your polling place, check the back of your Voter Information Pamphlet or use the Voter Portal. Your name will only be on the roster of voters at your assigned polling place. If you go to another polling place instead, your name will not be on the roster. You can still vote a provisional ballot there, but it may not list all the contests as the ballot at your assigned polling place. For more information: https://www.sf.gov/vote-person

Let’s make a difference together! 🗳️✨
