This election was a special election following the recall of former District Attorney, Chesa Boudin. District Attorneys in San Francisco are elected through rank choice voting (RCV). In RCV, if no candidate receives the majority of the votes, the votes for the least popular candidate are redistributed to the second choice of the voters voting for the least popular candidate. Candidates are eliminated one by one until redistributed votes provide a majority to one candidate. In the 2022 election, no candidate initially received the majority of votes. In two rounds of rank choice elimination, the votes of Joe Alioto Veronese and Maurice Chenier were transferred to the remaining candidates. These transfers left Jenkins with 53.68% of the vote (142,412 votes) and Hamasaki with 46.32% of the vote (122,906 votes). Jenkins was declared the winner.
