SEC. 13.100. CITY AND COUNTY ELECTIONS.
§ 13.100

The Board of Supervisors must create a local Elections Code that follows this Charter, and San Francisco elections are governed by state law where the Charter and local ordinances don't specify otherwise.
The Board of Supervisors needs to write an Elections Code that follows San Francisco's Charter. For anything the Charter and local rules don't cover, San Francisco elections follow California state law.
- Complex:The section is a brief delegation that gains meaning only through cross-reference to the Charter, ordinances, and state law—a reader cannot fully understand the actual election rules from this section alone.
