The newest member of the San Francisco Elections Commission, a seven-member civilian body that oversees and creates policy for the city\u2019s Department of Elections, isn\u2019t legally allowed to vote.\u00a0Kelly Wong, an immigrant rights advocate, is believed to be the first noncitizen appointed to the commission.<\/h4>\n

Wong\u2019s appointment is the result of a 2020 voter-approved measure that removed the citizenship requirement to serve on San Francisco boards, commissions and advisory bodies. Each of the commission\u2019s seven members is appointed by a different city official, such as the mayor, city attorney or district attorney. The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to appoint Wong.<\/p>\n
