To find their assigned polling place, Yermo voters can use the polling place lookup tool at https://www.sbcountyelections.com/elections/polling-places/ or check their sample ballot mailed before each election. California election records that are public include voter registration statistics, election results by precinct, campaign finance disclosures through the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) at https://www.fppc.ca.gov/, and candidate statements of qualification. Individual voter registration information is confidential and not publicly searchable, though campaigns and qualified organizations can purchase voter files.
