The San Francisco Voter Information Pamphlet

This pamphlet is also available online in PDF, HTML, XML, or MP3 format at sfelections.org/vip and in large print, CD audio, USB, and National Library Service (NLS) cartridge by request. In addition to English, the pamphlet is also available in Chinese, Spanish, and Filipino.

The California Voter Information Guide 

The California Secretary of State provides the Voter Information Guide with information about federal and statewide candidates and statewide ballot measures. You may access the guide on voterguide.sos.ca.gov.
