McKittrick voters are served by the Kern County Elections Division, located at 1115 Truxtun Avenue, First Floor, Bakersfield, CA 93301 (phone: 661-868-3590, website: www.kernvote.com). This office administers all federal, state, county, and special district elections for McKittrick residents, including voter registration, ballot preparation, polling place management, and election results certification. California residents can register to vote online at registertovote.ca.gov up to 15 days before an election, or use conditional voter registration and same-day registration at vote centers up through Election Day. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, California residents, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and not currently serving a state prison sentence for a felony conviction. Since McKittrick is an unincorporated community without municipal government, there are no mayoral or city council elections; residents vote in Kern County Board of Supervisors races for District 2, state legislative races for the 34th Assembly District and 16th Senate District, and federal races for California's 20th Congressional District. McKittrick voters can locate their assigned polling place or vote center through the Kern County Elections website at www.kernvote.com/polling-places or by calling the Elections Division. California's Voter's Choice Act has transitioned Kern County to a vote center model, allowing voters to cast ballots at any vote center in the county during the early voting period or on Election Day. Election records that are public in California include voter registration rolls (with certain personal information redacted), campaign finance disclosures through the California Fair Political Practices Commission at www.fppc.ca.gov, candidate statements and filings, and precinct-level election results, all accessible through the County Elections website and the California Secretary of State at www.sos.ca.gov. In the November 2024 presidential election, Kern County reported approximately 52% voter turnout with roughly 196,000 ballots cast from approximately 378,000 registered voters. For the November 3, 2026 general election, McKittrick and Kern County voters will decide several significant races: the California gubernatorial election, all statewide constitutional offices including Attorney General and Secretary of State, the U.S. Senate seat (Class III), California's 20th Congressional District representative, State Senate District 16, State Assembly District 34, Kern County Board of Supervisors seats in specific districts on rotation, Kern County Sheriff, Assessor-Recorder-Clerk, and various judicial seats and local special district positions. California offers multiple options for mail-in voting: any registered voter can request a vote-by-mail ballot through the county elections office online, by phone, or in writing up to seven days before the election, and all registered voters receive mail ballots automatically under current state law. Vote-by-mail ballots can be returned by mail (must be postmarked by Election Day), deposited in official drop boxes throughout Kern County, or delivered in person to vote centers.
