From 1977 to 1979, and starting again in 2000, supervisors were elected from eleven single-member districts. Prior to 1977 and from 1980 to 1998, members were elected [[at-large]], all running on one ballot, with the top vote-getters winning office. In 1980, elections shifted from odd-numbered years to even-numbered years, and because of the shift from district to at-large elections, all seats were up for election, with some members winning four-year terms and some winning two-year terms. Similar cases of supervisors elected to truncated terms happened in 1977 and 2000, when elections shifted to district elections.

== Board members ==
No official list of supervisors in office prior to 1906 exists as the [[1906 San Francisco earthquake]] destroyed all Board of Supervisors records. However, the names of San Francisco supervisors are recorded in many documents and newspapers from the time.

On June 17, 1907, Gallagher was appointed acting mayor by the board of supervisors, to serve in place of [[Eugene E. Schmitz]], who had been arrested on felony charges of extortion.

*{{note label|JJONeillOATveitmoe|N|N}} J.J. O'Neill and O.A. Tveitmoe were appointed by Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz on January 17, 1907, to succeed A.M. Wilson and G.F. Duffey, who had resigned.
*{{note label|SFGraft|O|O}} On March 18, 1907, as part of the [[San Francisco graft trials]], 16 of the 18 supervisors confessed before a grand jury to receiving money from corrupt political boss [[Abe Ruef]]. In exchange for their testimony, "they were promised complete immunity and would not be forced to resign their offices."
*{{note label|CBoxton|P|P}} Following the conviction of Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz for extortion, the board declared the office of the mayor vacant on July 9, 1907. Charles Boxton resigned his position as supervisor the same day and was elected by the board to fill Schmitz's unexpired term. However, testimony in Schmitz's corruption trial soon revealed that Boxton had taken bribes, so he actually served only seven days as mayor, resigning on July 16, 1907, to be replaced by [[Edward Robeson Taylor|Edward R. Taylor]], dean of [[University of California, Hastings College of the Law|Hastings College of the Law]]. On July 29, 1907, Taylor appointed James P.

Taylor obtained the resignations of 14 supervisors and appointed replacements for all their seats plus the open seat created by the resignation of Charles Boxton. These 15 appointments were protested by supervisors O.A. Tveitmoe and J.J. O'Neill, who had not resigned, on the grounds that Taylor's claim to the mayor's office had not been legally established. On August 26, 1907, P.M. McGushin resigned and Taylor replaced him with former supervisor A. Comte, Jr.
*{{note label|LSachsWGStafford|R|R}} Lippmann Sachs and W.G. Stafford were both elected in November 1907 to continue as supervisors. However, both resigned before May 28, 1908.

Giannini]], founder of the Bank of America. W.W. Sanderson was a grocery executive with Hooper & Jennings. He served as a supervisor during the period of Abe Ruef's corruption, and gave evidence about the graft schemes.

Rossi was sworn in as [[mayor of San Francisco]] on January 7, 1931, to fill the vacancy left by the swearing in of [[James Rolph]] as [[governor of California]] the previous day.
