Also on every Riverside County ballot: Governor, the other statewide offices, U.S. House and legislative districts, and the statewide propositions.
California local races are nonpartisan, so no party labels are printed. Most county offices were decided outright in the June 2 primary; only runoffs and November-only contests appear here.
This list comes from secondary sources, not the county's official ballot. Your exact ballot is in your county voter guide; check your registration at California voter status lookup (Secretary of State).
One candidate per seat on the list (write-ins may still be possible).
