March Air Reserve Base, California Public Records

In California, the bond/bail process allows for the release of inmates pending trial, and bail amounts are determined based on the severity of the charges. Recently arrested individuals can be located using the online inmate search tool provided by the Sheriff's Office.

Law enforcement within March Air Reserve Base is primarily handled by the base's own police department, which is responsible for maintaining public safety and responding to incidents on the military installation. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department also has jurisdiction over the surrounding Moreno Valley area, including any law enforcement matters that may involve March Air Reserve Base personnel or facilities. Both the base police and the county sheriff's department work collaboratively to ensure the safety and security of the local community.

March Air Reserve Base voters are served by the Riverside County Registrar of Voters, located at 2724 Gateway Drive, Riverside, CA 92507, phone (951) 486-7200, website www.voteinfo.net. This office administers all federal, state, and local elections for Riverside County's 1.3 million registered voters across 430 precincts. California residents can register to vote online at https://registertovote.ca.gov up until 15 days before an election, with conditional voter registration available at vote centers during the 14-day period before and through Election Day. Voters must be U.S. citizens, at least 18 years old on Election Day, and residents of California. Valid identification is not required to register but providing a California driver's license or identification number is preferred. March Air Reserve Base is not an incorporated municipality and therefore does not hold separate city elections; residents vote in Riverside County elections, California state elections, and federal elections. The base falls within California's 41st Congressional District for U.S. House representation. Local governance for unincorporated areas is provided by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, with March ARB located in the 1st Supervisorial District. County Supervisor elections are held on a rotating basis with four-year terms. California state legislative districts covering March ARB include the 23rd State Senate District and 60th State Assembly District, with elections held in gubernatorial election years (Assembly every two years, Senate every four years on rotation). March Air Reserve Base residents can find their assigned polling place or vote center through the Riverside County Registrar's website at www.voteinfo.net by entering their address. California became a vote center model county in 2020, meaning Riverside County residents can vote at any vote center in the county during the 11-day voting period before Election Day, not just their assigned precinct. The November 4, 2024 presidential election saw Riverside County report approximately 58% voter turnout with over 700,000 ballots cast out of 1.2 million registered voters. The 2026 general election on November 3, 2026 will feature critical races including California's gubernatorial election (Governor Gavin Newsom is term-limited, creating an open race), all 80 State Assembly seats, half of the 40 State Senate seats including several Inland Empire districts, multiple statewide constitutional offices including Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and Controller, as well as Riverside County Board of Supervisors seats in Districts 2, 4, and possibly others depending on the rotation. California does not have a U.S. Senate seat up for election in 2026 (both Senators were elected in 2024 and 2022). March ARB voters will also decide on county measures, school board elections for districts serving base residents, and special district positions. Public election records in California include voter registration files (available with restrictions to candidates and qualified organizations), campaign finance disclosure reports searchable at http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov, candidate statements and ballot measure arguments, precinct-level election results published after certification, and vote-by-mail application records. Riverside County publishes detailed election results by precinct at www.voteinfo.net after each election. California is a universal vote-by-mail state, meaning all registered voters automatically receive a mail ballot for every election, which can be returned by mail (postmarked by Election Day), at any vote center or ballot drop box through 8 PM on Election Day, or voters can choose to vote in person at vote centers. Military and overseas voters receive ballots earlier and have extended return deadlines under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA). Active-duty military personnel stationed at March ARB can register and vote using their permanent home address or California residence address depending on their state of legal residence. The Riverside County Elections Office provides accessible voting equipment, language assistance in Spanish, and voter education resources specific to each election cycle.
