Voting in San Francisco isn’t just a civic duty — it’s a law school entrance exam. No fewer than 25 propositions appear on the 2026 ballot: 14 of them are statewide measures; 11 are city-specific. Plus, voters are asked to weigh in on races from governor to congressmember to supervisor to appellate district justices — so many justices . To vote responsibly requires a master’s in city planning and a monastic level of patience — either that, or a really great ballot guide. That’s what The Standard has created with our first-ever San Francisco Voter Guide : a nonpartisan, no-BS companion for city voters with a lot on their minds and no time to spare. (Note to our app users: the voter guide is not currently available on The San Francisco Standard app.
