Sheriff Election — San Francisco, California

The 2028 oval in the city-county — not the 2026 Governor, not SFPD
This page is the arena for this office. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. The place is taught at San Francisco, California.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
This Sheriff is not on the 2026 ballot. California moved sheriff and district attorney to the presidential table. The Governor is 2026. That is a different desk in Sacramento.
San Francisco hires a Sheriff who still holds 425 7th, Bryant, and San Bruno
Elections Code § 1300 (AB 759, 2022): sheriff and district attorney with the presidential primary. A 2022 winner serves six years.
- Last regular: Tuesday, 7 June 2022.
- Next regular: the 2028 presidential primary. If no majority under §§ 8140–8141, runoff at the presidential general. Confirm the live 2028 date on the California SOS elections calendar.
- Take office: noon on the first Monday after January 1 succeeding election (Gov. Code § 24200). For 2028 that is Monday, 8 January 2029.
- Vacancy: Board of Supervisors appointment (Gov. Code § 25304).
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Eleven Supervisors sit — not this oval. An SFPD rumor does not hire this badge. San Francisco is the city-county. Sacramento is the capital.
Department of Elections work sits in this city-county — not SFPD as this clerk
Elections work lists with the San Francisco Department of Elections. That is city-county elections work — not SFPD as this clerk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and vote-by-mail on sos.ca.gov and sfelections.org.
Sample ballot in San Francisco — not the Governor’s card as this oval
Do not take names from a gubernatorial flyer, an SFPD rumor, an Oakland card, or a Sacramento statewide card as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — California Secretary of State and San Francisco Department of Elections

If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins. Do not invent a 2026 sheriff oval here.
What you are hiring — city-county jailer, not street 911
You are hiring the Sheriff of the City and County of San Francisco — the jails at 425 7th Street, 850 Bryant, and San Bruno; courthouse and City Hall security; hospital posts the office actually runs; civil process. You are not hiring San Francisco Police. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for these houses as this jailer, Sacramento as the capital, SFPD as not this oval, and Autauga-with-a-bridge as not this rewrite.
Remedy when a writ misses this city-county
A bad service — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Eleven Supervisors are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not SFPD. Not the Governor.
Relief when the jails or City Hall need this badge
A booking, a Bryant docket, City Hall security this office actually posts — this badge. Street 911 remains SFPD. San Mateo is a different count except the San Bruno house this Sheriff still holds.
Service — papers, a Bryant docket, a night count at 425 7th
Papers. A Hall of Justice courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. The jails remain this badge. SFPD does not.
Due process does not wait for a Gate rumor
A levy in this city and county still needs notice. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed the Golden Gate, or because a visitor photographed San Francisco as if it were the capital.
Rights from the ocean to the Bay
Equal protection on this city-county map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker at 425 7th and a family at San Bruno hire the same Sheriff.
