Citizens! it’s Election Day!
The future of the galaxy hangs in the balance, so you know what you need to do: Vote!
If don’t know where your polling place is located, click here to find it.
If you’re still not sure how to vote on the ridiculously long list of local candidates and San Francisco ballot propositions, check out Bernalwood’s endorsements for the November 8, 2016 election.
And finally, if you’d like to gather with other upstanding Citizens this evening to watch the results pour in, the fabulous Precita Park Cafe at the east end of Precita Park is having an Election Results Viewing Party TONIGHT, from 5:30 to 10 pm. Ms. Dana from Precita Park Cafe says all Bernalese are invited to come enjoy Happy Hour prices on select beers and wine along with pizza specials and complimentary punditry viewable on a brand-new high-definition color television! So futuristic!!!
Get out there and vote, have a nice democracy, and as always, Viva Bernal.

My position is the exact opposite. If people need to be cajoled into voting then they shouldn’t be voting. An election is a percentage thing, so it doesn’t matter how many people vote. I’d rather that people who are informed on the candidates and the ballot measures vote and let the other folks skip out. Too many times I’ve been in line waiting for people in the booths who JUST THEN had seen the ballot measures for the first time! Goodness knows how those folks vote on candidates.
With the size of this ballot, if you are really showing up with an empty ballot trying to figure things out on all the initiatives, get ready to spend 2 hours in the booth and generate a lot of angry looks.
Hopefully everyone is showing up with a cheat sheet or absente already filled out.
