Pinon Hills voters are served by the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters/County Clerk, located at 777 East Rialto Avenue, San Bernardino, CA 92415-0770, phone (909) 387-8300, website www.sbcountyelections.com. This office administers all federal, state, county, and local elections for Pinon Hills residents. California residents can register to vote online at registertovote.ca.gov, which is the official Secretary of State portal. The registration deadline is 15 days before each election; California also offers conditional voter registration up to and including Election Day at vote centers and county elections offices. Voters must be U.S. citizens, California residents, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and not currently serving a state prison term for a felony conviction. Because Pinon Hills is unincorporated, there are no municipal elections for mayor or city council. Pinon Hills residents vote in San Bernardino County Supervisor elections (District 1), California State Assembly and Senate districts, U.S. Congressional district elections, and statewide ballot measures and offices. The most recent election in November 2024 saw San Bernardino County achieve approximately 60% voter turnout for the presidential election, with over 650,000 ballots cast countywide. Pinon Hills residents can find their assigned polling place or vote center using the online lookup tool at www.sbcountyelections.com or by calling (909) 387-8300. California's Voter's Choice Act means San Bernardino County uses vote centers that are open for multiple days before Election Day, and any registered voter in the county can vote at any vote center. For the November 3, 2026 general election, Pinon Hills and San Bernardino County voters will decide several key races: U.S. House of Representatives seats, California State Senate and Assembly seats (all Assembly seats and half of Senate seats are up), county Supervisor districts that include portions of the high desert, Superior Court judge positions, school board seats for Snowline Joint Unified School District, and various special districts. California does not have U.S. Senate or gubernatorial elections in 2026 (Senator elections are 2024 and 2028; Governor is 2026 - correction, Governor is elected in 2026). Gavin Newsom's term expires in January 2027, so the 2026 election will include the California Governor's race, along with other statewide constitutional offices including Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Controller, Treasurer, Attorney General, Insurance Commissioner, and State Board of Equalization. Mail-in/absentee ballots are available to all California voters; since 2020, all registered voters automatically receive a vote-by-mail ballot. Voters can request to opt out and vote in person if preferred. Ballots are mailed approximately 29 days before Election Day and must be postmarked by Election Day and received within 7 days, or dropped in official ballot drop boxes by 8:00 PM on Election Day. Track your ballot status at california.ballottrax.net. Public election records include voter registration files (available with restrictions), campaign finance disclosures through the California Fair Political Practices Commission at www.fppc.ca.gov, candidate statements and filings, precinct-level election results, and sample ballots, all accessible through the County Registrar's website.
