SEC. 13.105. NOMINATION.
§ 13.105
Could be simpler
In plain language
San Francisco follows California state law for nominating candidates for municipal elected offices, unless the Charter or a local ordinance provides a different rule.
When people want to run for elective office in San Francisco, the city uses the nomination process set up by California state law. However, if the San Francisco Charter or a local law says something different, the city follows that instead.
- Could be simpler:The phrase 'except as provided for by ordinance or this Charter' creates ambiguity about priority (does the Charter override an ordinance, or vice versa); clarifying the hierarchy would improve clarity.
