As an unincorporated community, Richgrove has no municipal elections for mayor or city council. Instead, residents vote in Tulare County Board of Supervisors elections (District 5 represents the Richgrove area), school board races for the Richgrove Elementary School District and Delano Union High School District, and various special district boards. County Supervisor elections are held in even-numbered years on a rotating basis, with the next District 5 election scheduled for 2026. Richgrove residents find their assigned polling locations or vote center by entering their address at the county elections website or calling the Registrar's office. In the November 2024 presidential election, Tulare County reported approximately 54 percent voter turnout among registered voters, with roughly 102,000 ballots cast out of 189,000 registered voters countywide.
