California 2026 — and the Road Beyond
Research checked: October 7, 2026. Election: November 3, 2026.
County elections decide who manages county services, public money and oversight. This directory includes the Los Angeles sheriff runoff and San Diego supervisor, assessor/recorder/clerk and treasurer/tax collector filings. It lists the offices present in those source documents; it does not imply every county office is up for election.
QUESTIONS FOR A COUNTY REPORT CARD
Ask candidates how they will publish budgets and contracts, measure service delivery, handle complaints, protect equal treatment, and identify the costs and legal authority behind their proposals. For sheriffs, review oversight and custody policies; for assessors and tax collectors, review accuracy, appeals and public accounting.

COUNTY COVERAGE AND VERIFICATION
Los Angeles and San Diego source lists are indexed on this page. The other 56 counties have not yet been indexed here. A missing name is not proof that a person is not running. Cross-county district records need deduplication before statewide totals can be stated.

REPORT-CARD STATUS
Candidate policy research, campaign-finance comparisons, verified individual websites and portraits remain pending for these local records. No candidate score, endorsement or winner prediction is assigned. A blank financial record does not mean a candidate has raised no money. Lower-budget candidates can be featured first after dated filings establish their receipts, spending and cash on hand.
We wish every candidate and every California community a fair election and a good future. Voters make the final decision.
