Pioneertown voters are served by the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters, located at 777 East Rialto Avenue, San Bernardino, CA 92415-0770 (phone: 909-387-8300, website: www.sbcountyelections.com). This office administers all aspects of voter registration, elections, and campaign disclosure for Pioneertown residents. California residents can register to vote online at registertovote.ca.gov up to 15 days before any election; same-day conditional voter registration is also available during the 14-day period before and on Election Day at vote centers and county elections offices. To register, California residents must be U.S. citizens, at least 18 years old on Election Day, and not currently incarcerated or on parole for a felony conviction. Because Pioneertown is an unincorporated community with no municipal government, residents do not vote in city council or mayoral elections. Instead, Pioneertown voters participate in San Bernardino County elections for the five-member Board of Supervisors (Pioneertown is located in District 3), countywide elected officials including Sheriff, District Attorney, Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk, Treasurer-Tax Collector, and Auditor-Controller, as well as state and federal elections. Pioneertown residents can look up their specific polling location, vote center, or ballot drop box location by visiting the county's election website at www.sbcountyelections.com and using the polling place lookup tool, or by calling the Registrar of Voters office. In the November 3, 2024 general election, San Bernardino County reported approximately 57% voter turnout among registered voters, with over 600,000 ballots cast countywide. For the November 3, 2026 general election, Pioneertown and San Bernardino County voters will decide several major races including all U.S. House of Representatives seats (Pioneertown is in California's 8th Congressional District), California State Senate and Assembly seats, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors District 3 seat, countywide offices if scheduled, and various local special districts and measures. California does not have U.S. Senate or Gubernatorial elections scheduled for 2026 (both were last elected in 2024 and serve through 2030 and 2026 respectively, with the next Governor race in 2026). Under California law, voter registration lists are public records available for purchase for political, journalistic, or governmental purposes; requests must be submitted to the county registrar on official forms. Campaign finance disclosure reports filed by candidates and committees are public record and searchable through the county elections website and the California Secretary of State's Cal-Access database at cal-access.sos.ca.gov. Precinct-level election results are published online after each election at www.sbcountyelections.com. California is a universal vote-by-mail state; all registered voters automatically receive a mail ballot for every election, which can be returned by mail (postage-paid), at any ballot drop box, or at any vote center in the county. Vote centers open several days before Election Day and allow any county voter to vote in person with same-day registration available.
