Rancho Cucamonga, California Public Records

Registration requires either a California driver's license or ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. The city holds municipal elections for one at-large Mayor and four district-based City Council seats, all serving four-year terms. Council elections occur in November of even-numbered years, with Districts 1 and 3 on one cycle and Districts 2 and 4 alternating. Candidate information, local ballot measures, and sample ballots appear on www.cityofrc.us and through the County Registrar. As a Vote Center county under California's Voter's Choice Act, San Bernardino County allows registered voters to cast ballots at any vote center during the voting period rather than requiring them to visit an assigned precinct. Residents can locate vote centers through the polling place lookup tool at www.sbcountyelections.com or by calling the Registrar's office. During the November 2024 presidential election, San Bernardino County reported roughly 56-58% turnout with over 600,000 ballots from approximately 1.1 million registered voters; local turnout historically runs slightly above the county average. No U.S. All U.S. House seats are contested every two years, with the city represented in Congressional districts set by recent redistricting. Public election records in California include voter registration rolls with certain personal details redacted under state law, campaign finance disclosures filed through the California Fair Political Practices Commission at www.fppc.ca.gov and with the city clerk, candidate statements and declarations, initiative and referendum petitions, and precinct-level results. The County Registrar posts detailed election results by precinct and vote center after each election. Every registered voter automatically receives a mail ballot for each election under California's universal vote-by-mail system. Ballots can be returned by mail if postmarked by Election Day, dropped in secure boxes throughout San Bernardino County, or brought to any vote center. In-person voting is available at vote centers during the early voting period, which typically begins 10 days before Election Day, and on Election Day itself. The state's Where's My Ballot system at wheresmyballot.sos.ca.gov tracks mail ballots and sends notifications when ballots are mailed, received, and counted.
