Lytle Creek residents can locate their assigned polling place or vote center through the county's website at https://www.sbcountyelections.com/Polling_Places.aspx by entering their address, or by calling (909) 387-8300. San Bernardino County has transitioned to a vote center model where registered voters can visit any vote center in the county during the early voting period or on Election Day rather than being assigned to a single precinct location.

California does not have a U.S. Senate seat up in 2026 as Senator Alex Padilla's term runs through 2028 and Senator Adam Schiff's term through 2030. California offers universal vote-by-mail, with all registered voters automatically receiving mail ballots approximately 29 days before Election Day. Voters can request to be added to the permanent vote-by-mail list or request a one-time mail ballot through the county elections website or by phone.

The San Bernardino County elections office maintains drop box locations listed at https://www.sbcountyelections.com.
