Between 81% and 95% of San Franciscans who are eligible to vote have registered in elections from 1995 to 2003. In the most recent election, 86% of eligible voters registered to vote. A higher percentage of eligible voters registers for presidential elections (as seen in 1996 and 2000).

Note: The eligible voting population is an estimate based on the 2000 U.S. Census, which found that 84% of people living in San Francisco are U.S. citizens. After accounting for differing percentages of citizenship by age, and for other eligibility factors (such as felony status), we estimated the eligible voting population at 80% of adults. Estimates do not take into account changes in age and citizenship makeup of SF population over time.
