Foreign National Kelly Wong to serve on election commission in San Francisco

San Francisco Appoints First Noncitizen, Kelly Wong, to Serve on Elections Commission

The newest member of the San Francisco Elections Commission, a seven-member civilian body that oversees and creates policy for the city’s Department of Elections, isn’t even legally allowed to vote herself.

Wong’s 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’s 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.

This is so Wong!
