Just Now: San Francisco’s Head Coach Announced to Departure Immediately

As the March 5 election draws near, San Francisco’s Department of Elections has kicked into gear, sending out Voter Information Pamphlets to city residents. According to an announcement on Friday, these pamphlets – loaded with must-know details on candidates, measures, and voting guidelines – are going through the postal service to hundreds of thousands of voters.

Showing an eye towards modern convenience and accessibility, the Department has also made these pamphlets available in various digital formats like PDF, HTML, and MP3. Those looking to go paperless can even get their hands on large print versions, CDs, USBs, or cartridges compatible with National Library Services. “We want to encourage voters to prepare for the March election by reviewing all official local and state election material carefully,” said Director John Arntz in a statement covered by the official San Francisco government website.

San Franciscans have more than candidates and ballot measures to consider in their VIPs. The pamphlets include crucial information for those who can’t attend the polls or are navigating the justice system. They detail the special voting programs available to those grappling with such challenges. This outreach reflects the city’s commitment to enfranchising every eligible voter.

Every VIP comes with a sample ballot, but not just any sample. Depending on your political affiliation or lack thereof, voters can peep various “crossover” ballots from parties like the American Independent, Democratic, and Libertarian, opening their arms to no-party preference voters this presidential primary. Instructions on how to get a different ballot are meticulously laid out on page 5 of the pamphlet – just one of the critical pieces of info to look for. And for those who prefer to cut down on clutter and save some trees, the Department offers an opt-out option for the physical VIP, making it easy to quickly switch to digital delivery via the Voter Portal, as explained by the San Francisco government news release.

Win or lose, Jeremy Renner, Saweetie, Harry Shum Jr. and more celebrities are faithful to the San Francisco 49ers. The football team – named after the 1849 gold rush in Northern California and dubbed the Niners by fans – was founded in 1946 and joined the NFL three years later. The 49ers were a powerhouse in the league during the ‘80s and ‘90s, winning five Super Bowls in 1981, 1984, 1988, 1989 and 1994. It wasn’t until 2012 that the 49ers made it back to the big game, but they lost to the Baltimore Ravens. In 2020, the team made its seventh Super Bowl appearance, losing once again to the Kansas City Chiefs. Diehard fans, including Renner, were at the championship that year and have been waiting to get back ever since.
