Vallejo voters are served by the Solano County Registrar of Voters, located at 675 Texas Street, Suite 2600, Fairfield, CA 94533 (707-784-6675, www.solanocountyelections.com). California residents can register to vote online at registertovote.ca.gov up to 15 days before any election, though the state also offers conditional voter registration allowing eligible citizens to register and vote provisionally through Election Day at designated locations. Voters must provide their California driver license or ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Vallejo, as an incorporated city operating under a council-manager government, holds municipal elections for mayor and six city council seats (elected by district since 2018 following litigation over at-large elections). The mayor and council members serve four-year staggered terms, with council Districts 1, 3, and 5 up for election in November 2024, and Districts 2, 4, and 6 plus the mayor scheduled for November 2026. Vallejo residents find their assigned polling place by visiting the County Registrar's website and entering their address, though California's Voters Choice Act allows any registered voter to cast a ballot at any vote center in the county during the early voting period. Under California law, numerous election records are public: voter registration data (excluding birthdates and driver license numbers) is available for purchase by campaigns and researchers; campaign finance reports for local candidates are filed with the Vallejo City Clerk and accessible at City Hall; county, state, and federal campaign finance data is searchable at cal-access.sos.ca.gov; and precinct-level election results are published by the Registrar after certification. In the November 2024 presidential election, Solano County reported approximately 62% voter turnout among its 265,000 registered voters, with Vallejo precincts showing slightly higher participation. The November 3, 2026 general election will feature California's gubernatorial race (Governor Gavin Newsom's term expires in 2027), all 80 State Assembly seats, 20 odd-numbered State Senate districts, multiple statewide ballot propositions, Solano County Supervisor races for Districts 2 and 4, the Solano County Assessor-Recorder, and Vallejo's mayoral race along with three city council districts. California operates as a permanent vote-by-mail state—all registered voters automatically receive mail ballots approximately 29 days before each election, which can be returned by mail (postmarked by Election Day), deposited in secure drop boxes throughout the county, or surrendered at any vote center in exchange for an in-person ballot.
