Granada Hills voters are served by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, located at 12400 Imperial Highway, Norwalk, CA 90650, phone (562) 462-2060, website lavote.gov. This office administers all elections for Granada Hills residents including federal, state, county, and City of Los Angeles elections. California residents can register to vote online at registertovote.ca.gov, the California Secretary of State's online voter registration portal, which requires a valid California driver's license or ID number. The registration deadline is 15 days before any election, though California offers conditional voter registration allowing eligible citizens to register and vote provisionally up through Election Day at designated locations. To register, 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. Since Granada Hills is a neighborhood within the City of Los Angeles rather than an incorporated city, there are no separate municipal elections specific to Granada Hills. However, Granada Hills residents vote in Los Angeles City elections for Mayor, City Attorney, City Controller, and the City Council member representing District 12 (which includes Granada Hills). Los Angeles city elections are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March of odd-numbered years, with the next city elections scheduled for March 2025 and March 2027. Runoff elections, if needed, occur in late May or early June. Granada Hills voters can find their assigned polling place by visiting lavote.gov and entering their address in the polling place locator, or by calling (562) 466-1323. Los Angeles County has transitioned to the Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP) model, which provides Vote Centers where any registered county voter can vote in-person during an extended voting period (typically 11 days before Election Day through Election Day). California maintains extensive publicly accessible election records including voter registration statistics (though individual voter information is protected), campaign finance disclosures through the California Fair Political Practices Commission at fppc.ca.gov and Los Angeles City Ethics Commission at ethics.lacity.org, candidate statements and filings, and precinct-level election results available at lavote.gov. In the November 2024 presidential election, Los Angeles County reported approximately 4.1 million registered voters with a turnout of approximately 71-73%, with hundreds of thousands of Granada Hills residents participating. For the November 3, 2026 general election, Granada Hills and Los Angeles County voters will decide several significant races: all 52 California U.S. House seats are up for election; all 80 California State Assembly seats; 20 of 40 California State Senate seats (even-numbered districts); statewide offices including Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Controller, Treasurer, Insurance Commissioner, and Superintendent of Public Instruction; Los Angeles County offices including Sheriff, District Attorney, Assessor, and Superior Court judges; and potentially City of Los Angeles ballot measures if placed on the ballot by the City Council or citizen initiative. California does not have a U.S. Senate election in 2026 (next scheduled for 2028). California voters can request vote-by-mail ballots by submitting an application to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder (available at lavote.gov) or by registering as a permanent vote-by-mail voter. As of recent years, all registered California voters automatically receive mail ballots for every election, with the option to vote by mail or in-person at Vote Centers. Mail ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received within 7 days after Election Day, or deposited in official ballot drop boxes by 8:00 PM on Election Day.
