旧金山提前投票近13万张 速度快于6月初选
2026年11月1日，旧金山市选举部门公布的提前投票数据显示，截至10月31日星期六，全市已有近13万名选民投出选票，投票速度快于6月初选，选举部门预计本次中期选举最终投票率可达六成末至七成初。选举部门主任约翰·阿恩茨表示，6月初选前一个星期六时，已交回选票的选民约占登记选民的17%，而这一次这一比例已升至约24%。
本次选举议题重大，选民将面对州长选举、针对亿万富翁征税的提案以及区域交通税等议程，提前投票热度由此走高。阿恩茨鼓励选民使用官方选票投递箱，并提醒选举日当天全市将开放501个投票站，每个投票站同时也是选票递交点。6月初选的投票率为登记选民的62%，而本次提前投票的速度已明显超过当时，显示选民参与意愿上升。
选举部门提醒尚未投票的选民提前确认投票站位置与选票递交方式，选举日为11月3日，投票站开放时间与选票递交截止时间以选举部门官方公告为准，避免因跑错地点或错过时间影响投票。
Nearly 130,000 Early Ballots Cast in San Francisco, Outpacing the June Primary
On November 1, early voting figures released by San Francisco's elections department showed that as of Saturday, October 31, nearly 130,000 voters citywide had cast ballots, at a pace faster than the June primary; the department projects final turnout in this midterm election could reach the high 60s to low 70s percent. Elections Director John Arntz said that by the Saturday a week before the June primary, about 17% of registered voters had returned ballots, while this time the share has risen to about 24%.
The stakes on this ballot are high: voters face a governor's race, a proposed tax on billionaires and a regional transportation tax, among other measures, driving early voting interest up. Arntz encouraged voters to use official ballot drop boxes and noted that on Election Day the city will open 501 polling places, each of which also serves as a ballot drop-off point. Turnout in the June primary was 62% of registered voters, and this election's early pace is already clearly ahead of it, signaling stronger participation.
The department reminded voters who have not yet voted to confirm their polling place and ballot drop-off method in advance. Election Day is November 3; polling place hours and drop-off deadlines follow the elections department's official announcements, so voters should take care not to go to the wrong place or miss the deadline.
