Point Reyes Station, California Public Records

The department's website provides voter information, sample ballots, polling place lookup tools, and election night results as they come in. California residents, including those in Point Reyes Station, can register to vote online at https://registertovote.ca.gov. The registration deadline is 15 days before any election for online and mail registration, though California now offers conditional voter registration up to and including Election Day at county elections offices and some vote centers. Eligibility requirements include U.S. Citizenship, California residency, being at least 18 years old by Election Day, and not currently serving time or on parole for a felony conviction. Acceptable identification includes a California driver's license or ID card number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. Under the state's universal vote-by-mail system, Marin County automatically mails a ballot to every registered voter for all elections. Because Point Reyes Station is an unincorporated community, there are no municipal elections for mayor or city council. Instead, residents vote in Marin County Board of Supervisors elections, the community is located in District 4, where the supervisor serves a four-year term. Voters also participate in elections for Marin County Sheriff, District Attorney, Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk, and other countywide offices. Depending on their exact location, residents may also vote in local special district elections, including the West Marin Mosquito Vector Control District, Tomales Bay Cemetery District, and Inverness Public Utility District. Residents can find their assigned polling place or vote center by visiting https://www.marinvotes.org and using the "Find My Polling Place" tool, which requires entering a residential address. Any registered voter can request placement on the permanent vote-by-mail list, though the county now automatically mails ballots to all active registered voters beginning 29 days before each election. Voted ballots can be returned by mail using the postage-paid envelope, deposited in official drop boxes located throughout Marin County (including several in West Marin), or delivered in person to the Elections Office or any vote center. Election records that are public in California include voter registration lists (available for purchase for political and election related purposes under Cal. Elec. Code § 2184), precinct-level election results, campaign finance disclosures filed with the California Secretary of State for statewide candidates and with the county for local candidates, and candidate statements and filings. The county Elections website publishes detailed results by precinct and district shortly after polls close, with final certified results available within 30 days of the election. Offices on the ballot are expected to include Governor of California (four-year term), Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, State Controller, State Treasurer, Insurance Commissioner, and Superintendent of Public Instruction. Voters will also elect members of the California State Senate (even-numbered districts) and all 80 seats of the California State Assembly. No U.S.County voters will also decide two Board of Supervisors seats (Districts 2 and 4, which includes Point Reyes Station), county office races, and potential local and statewide ballot measures addressing housing, taxation, and environmental policy. Candidate filing begins in early 2026, and the primary election will be held June 2, 2026, with the top-two vote-getters advancing to the November general election regardless of party. Absentee and vote-by-mail ballots are automatically mailed to all registered voters in Marin County, but voters can also request replacement ballots or opt to vote in person at vote centers beginning 10 days before Election Day. Voted mail ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and received by the county within 7 days to be counted.
