Milford voters are served by the Lassen County Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters, located at 707 Nevada Street, Suite 5, Susanville, CA 96130, phone (530) 251-8217, website www.lassencounty.org/dept/elections. This office administers all federal, state, county, and local elections for Lassen County residents, including voter registration, ballot preparation, polling place operations, vote counting, and election results certification. Milford residents can register to vote online through the California Secretary of State's website at https://registertovote.ca.gov, which allows eligible citizens to complete registration up to 15 days before any election; California also offers conditional voter registration at vote centers and county elections offices through Election Day. Voter registration requires a valid California driver's license or ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. As an unincorporated community, Milford has no municipal government and therefore no city council or mayoral elections; residents vote in county-level elections for the Lassen County Board of Supervisors (five districts), Sheriff, District Attorney, Assessor, Auditor-Controller, Clerk-Recorder, and Treasurer-Tax Collector, as well as state and federal elections. Milford voters can find their assigned polling location by using the polling place lookup tool on the Secretary of State's website at www.sos.ca.gov/elections/polling-place or by contacting the Lassen County elections office directly. California is a vote-by-mail state, and every registered voter automatically receives a ballot by mail for each election; voters may return mail ballots by postal service, at official drop boxes located throughout the county, or at any vote center in the county during the voting period. In the November 2024 presidential election, Lassen County reported voter turnout of approximately 62%, with total ballots cast around 9,000 out of roughly 14,500 registered voters. California election records that are public include voter registration lists (with some personal information redacted), campaign finance disclosure forms filed by candidates and committees (available through the California Fair Political Practices Commission at www.fppc.ca.gov), candidate statements and filings, and detailed precinct-by-precinct election results published by the county elections office. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, Milford and Lassen County voters will decide several significant races: all of California's U.S. House seats (Lassen County is in California's 1st Congressional District), state constitutional offices including Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Controller, Treasurer, Attorney General, and Insurance Commissioner, all 80 seats in the California State Assembly, half of the 40 seats in the California State Senate, and various county offices depending on term schedules, plus any local ballot measures referred by the Board of Supervisors or through citizen initiative. California does not have a U.S. Senate seat up in 2026. Absentee ballots are automatically sent to all registered voters, but voters can also request replacement ballots or update mailing addresses through the county elections office or online voter portal.
