Marina Del Rey voters are served by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, the official election authority for all of Los Angeles County. The main office is located at 12400 Imperial Highway, Norwalk, CA 90650, phone (562) 466-1310 or toll-free (800) 815-2666, website lavote.gov. Marina Del Rey residents register to vote online through the California Secretary of State at registertovote.ca.gov, which integrates with the California Department of Motor Vehicles for streamlined registration. The deadline to register for any election is 15 days before Election Day, though California offers conditional voter registration allowing eligible citizens to register and vote provisionally through Election Day at vote centers or county elections offices. Voters need to provide their California driver's license or ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. As an unincorporated community, Marina Del Rey has no municipal government, mayor, or city council elections; instead, residents vote for Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (Fourth District), California State Assembly, State Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, and federal/statewide offices. The Fourth Supervisorial District, currently represented by Supervisor Janice Hahn (as of 2025), holds elections every four years; the next election is in 2026. Marina Del Rey residents find their assigned polling place or vote center through the Registrar's website at lavote.gov/locator or by calling (562) 466-1310. California has transitioned to a Voter's Choice Act model in Los Angeles County beginning 2020, providing vote centers open multiple days before Election Day plus mail-in ballots sent to all registered voters. Election records public in California include voter registration statistics (not individual registrant details, which are confidential except to campaigns and researchers under strict rules), campaign finance disclosures through the California Fair Political Practices Commission at fppc.ca.gov and local NetFile systems, candidate statements and filings, and precinct-level election results. The Los Angeles County Registrar publishes detailed election results at lavote.gov after each election, broken down by supervisorial district, assembly district, and precinct. In the November 2024 presidential election, Los Angeles County reported approximately 4.8 million registered voters with turnout exceeding 70%, reflecting strong participation countywide. For the November 3, 2026 general election, Marina Del Rey and Los Angeles County voters will decide several major races: Governor of California (Gavin Newsom's term expires in 2027, so the gubernatorial election is in 2026), all California State Assembly seats (two-year terms), all State Senate even-numbered districts (four-year terms), and various countywide offices including Sheriff, District Attorney, Assessor, and judges. California does not have a U.S. Senate race in 2026; the next Senate elections are in 2028. Marina Del Rey voters will also consider statewide ballot propositions and potential county measures addressing issues such as governance, taxation, or public services. To request an absentee or mail-in ballot in California, voters can apply online at lavote.gov, by phone at (562) 466-1310, or by mail; however, under current law all registered voters automatically receive vote-by-mail ballots for each election, which can be returned by mail (postmarked by Election Day), at drop boxes throughout the county (until 8 PM on Election Day), or at any vote center during the voting period.
