San Francisco Ballot Propositions Database - Historical Ballot Propositions 1907-present

For some elections, separate pamphlets were created for each voting district or a combination of each voting district and political party, and there is no singular representative pamphlet which includes all of the candidates for that election. As a result, the hard copies of the various pamphlets were bound together to represent that particular election, and this resulted in extra-large digitized versions. Because the PDF files of the voter pamphlets are images instead of text, they cannot be searched electronically.

San Francisco Public Library staff developed the San Francisco Ballot Propositions Database to provide keyword access to San Francisco propositions, pass/fail outcomes and other information, and links to the full-text PDF Voter Information Pamphlet. C. UPDATE PROCESS This dataset is updated when the final election results from the San Francisco Department of Elections are available. D. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET This dataset contains the number and percentage of ballots cast, percentage required to pass, as well as pass/fail outcomes, the full text of each proposition, and a link to a PDF version of the Voter Information Pamphlet for that election, if available.
