Sultana voters access all election services through the Tulare County Registrar of Voters, located at 5961 South Mooney Boulevard, Visalia, CA 93277 (telephone 559-624-7300, website www.tularecoelections.org). California residents can register to vote online at registertovote.ca.gov up to 15 days before any election, with conditional voter registration available at the county elections office or any vote center through Election Day itself for those who miss the deadline; registration requires a valid California driver's license or identification card number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. As an unincorporated community, Sultana has no municipal government and therefore no city council or mayoral elections; residents vote in Tulare County Board of Supervisors races (five districts, four-year staggered terms), California State Assembly District 26, California State Senate District 14, and U.S. Congressional District 22. The county Board of Supervisors represents geographically-divided districts with elections scheduled during presidential and gubernatorial cycles. Sultana voters can locate their assigned polling place or vote center through the county's website lookup tool (enter address at www.tularecoelections.org/voter-information), though California's Voter's Choice Act implemented in Tulare County allows registered voters to cast ballots at any vote center countywide during the early voting period or on Election Day rather than being restricted to precinct-specific locations. In the November 2024 presidential election, Tulare County reported 124,389 ballots cast from 214,726 registered voters, representing 57.9 percent turnout, with results available by precinct on the Registrar's website. The November 3, 2026 general election will feature races for California Governor (current term expires January 2027), all 80 Assembly seats, 20 of 40 state Senate seats (even-numbered districts), and various county offices including Sheriff, District Attorney, Assessor-Clerk-Recorder, and Treasurer-Tax Collector. Campaign finance disclosures, candidate statements, and ballot measure arguments are public records accessible through the county elections office and the California Secretary of State's Cal-Access database at cal-access.sos.ca.gov. California offers permanent vote-by-mail status (request once, automatically receive ballots for all elections), with applications available through the county Registrar; mail ballots for the 2026 election will be sent beginning 29 days before Election Day, and must be postmarked by November 3 and received within seven days to count. Voter registration lists, excluding confidential voters in address protection programs, are available for purchase by campaigns and political organizations at statutory rates.
