Get StartedA "YES" vote on Proposition C is a vote in favor of allowing any resident of San Francisco who is of legal voting age (currently 18 years) to sit on city boards, commissions, and advisory bodies. A "YES" vote would remove the requirement that members of city boards, commissions, or advisory bodies be U.S. citizens and registered voters.
A "NO" vote on Proposition C is a vote in opposition to allowing any resident of San Francisco who is of legal voting age (currently 18 years) to sit on city boards, commissions, and advisory bodies. A "NO" vote would preserve the requirement that members of city boards, commissions, or advisory bodies be U.S. citizens and registered voters.
"Expanding membership of commissions and boards to every San Franciscan will help the City to better deliver services. These diverse lived experiences will help create and review public policy that supports and protects all people.", in support of Proposition C (Learn more)
"Our city commissions should reflect the diverse population, but it currently does not. People of color on boards and commissions have decreased every year since 2015 and Asian Pacific Islanders, Latinx, African Americans, Women, and LGBTQ San Francisco residents are still underrrepresented.", in support of Proposition C (Learn more)
"We would not be submitting this argument to oppose the measure if the authors had simply crafted the proposition to include both citizens and other legal residents. Instead, this measure also includes non-legal residents. We still believe the best way for immigrants to take advantage of the full benefits of our nation is to acquire U.S. citizenship.", in opposition to Proposition C (Learn more)
"Non-citizens in San Francisco are required to pay taxes like other residents. Restricting them from full political participation amounts to taxation without represenation, one of the practices against which the American Revolution was fought.", in support of Proposition C (Learn more)
Shall the City amend the Charter to remove the requirement that people serving on City boards, commissions and advisory bodies be registered voters and U.S. citizens, and continue to require those people be old enough to vote in City elections and be San Francisco residents?
