Riverside County has implemented the Voter's Choice Act, allowing voters to cast ballots at any vote center in Riverside County during the 10 days before and including Election Day, rather than being restricted to a single precinct. Vote centers provide same-day voter registration, replacement ballots, accessible voting equipment, and multilingual support. In the November 2024 presidential election, Riverside County reported approximately 58% voter turnout among registered voters, with over 1.1 million ballots cast countywide out of approximately 1.4 million registered voters. The city recorded turnout consistent with county averages, reflecting strong engagement in the presidential race. For the November 3, 2026 general election, voters will decide several significant races: the California gubernatorial election (Governor Gavin Newsom's current term expires in 2027), various California State Assembly and State Senate districts covering the area, Riverside County Board of Supervisors seats, countywide offices including Sheriff-Coroner, District Attorney, Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder, and potentially local ballot measures. State Assembly District 60 and State Senate District 31 represent portions of the community, with elections for these seats occurring in 2026. Note that no U.S. Senate seat is up in 2026, as Senator Padilla's term expires in 2028 and Senator Schiff's in 2029. Publicly accessible California election records include voter registration lists (available to candidates, campaigns, and researchers under California Elections Code Section 2194), campaign finance reports filed with the California Secretary of State's Cal-Access database at cal-access.sos.ca.gov, candidate statements and declarations of candidacy filed with county and local election officials, and precinct-level election results published after each election on the Riverside County website. Vote-by-mail ballots are automatically sent to all registered voters in California under recent legislative changes. Voters can also request replacement ballots or track their ballot status online through the state's Where's My Ballot system at california.ballottrax.net. The deadline to request a vote-by-mail ballot is seven days before Election Day, though ballots are automatically mailed beginning 29 days before each election. Completed mail ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received within seven days after the election to be counted, or can be dropped off at any vote center or official ballot drop box location through 8:00 PM on Election Day.
