The San Francisco Department of Elections is responsible for conducting all federal, state and local elections in the City and County of San Francisco. Serving a registered voter base of more than 450,000 citizens, the Department of Election manages approximately 560 polling places and more than 3,000 temporary pollworkers during each election. Voters can vote by Vote-By-Mail ballot or at the polls. Currently, the Department of Elections uses optical scan voting machines, which scan ballots at the polls and at the Department's processing center in its offices in City Hall.
