Bryn Mawr, California Public Records

Applicants must be U.S. Citizens, California residents, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and not currently serving a state or federal prison term for a felony conviction. The state offers same-day conditional voter registration, allowing eligible persons to register and vote provisionally through Election Day, though the standard deadline is 15 days before an election. As an unincorporated community, the area does not hold municipal elections for mayor or city council. Residents instead vote in San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors elections - the community is located in Supervisorial District 5 - along with state legislative races determined by redistricting, statewide offices, and federal contests. Voters can find their assigned polling location by entering their address at www.sbcountyelections.com/polling-places or calling the Registrar. The county has adopted the Voter's Choice Act model, replacing traditional precinct polling places with vote centers that open for multiple days before Election Day and allow voters to cast ballots at any center countywide. In the November 2024 presidential election, San Bernardino County reported approximately 57.8% voter turnout among registered voters, with over 650,000 ballots cast out of more than 1.1 million registered voters countywide. Turnout in the area was consistent with county averages. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, local voters will decide several significant races: all California statewide offices including Governor (Gavin Newsom's term expires in 2027, so the gubernatorial election is in 2026), Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, State Controller, State Treasurer, Insurance Commissioner, and Superintendent of Public Instruction; one U.S. Senate seat (California Class III Senate seat currently held by Alex Padilla is up for election in 2026); California's 8th State Senate District (if on the election cycle); the California State Assembly district covering the community; San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors District 5; San Bernardino County Assessor-Recorder-Clerk; County Sheriff-Coroner; County District Attorney; County Auditor-Controller; County Treasurer-Tax Collector; judicial seats for San Bernardino County Superior Court; and various special district boards and ballot measures. California is a universal vote-by-mail state. All registered voters automatically receive a vote-by-mail ballot sent to their registered address beginning 29 days before Election Day. Voters may return mail ballots by U.S. Mail (postmarked by Election Day and received within 7 days), by dropping them in official ballot drop boxes located throughout San Bernardino County, or by surrendering the mail ballot and voting in person at a vote center. Vote centers open 3 days before Election Day (Saturday through Tuesday) at numerous locations countywide, with extended hours on Election Day (7:00 AM to 8:00 PM). Election records that are public in California include voter registration lists (available to candidates, campaigns, and committees with restrictions on use), campaign finance reports filed by candidates and committees (searchable at cal-access.sos.ca.gov for state races and through the County Registrar for local races), candidate statements and filings, precinct-level election results (available at www.sbcountyelections.com after certification), and records of campaign expenditures and contributions. Individual voter history, which elections a person voted in, but not how they voted, is public record and included in voter file data, though the actual content of ballots cast is secret. San Bernardino County provides detailed election results by supervisorial district, state legislative district, congressional district, and precinct on the Registrar's website following each election.
