Sheriff Election — Ventura County, California
Ventura County, California, Sheriff · the arena · San Buenaventura hires this desk in 2028 · not the 2026 Governor · Sacramento remains the capital · Ventura PD remains a city badge
The 2028 oval in Ventura — not the 2026 Governor, not Los Angeles as this county
This page is the arena for this office. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. The county as a place is taught at Ventura County, California.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
This Sheriff is not on the 2026 ballot. California moved sheriff and district attorney to the presidential table. The Governor is 2026. That is a different desk in Sacramento. Assessor, Auditor-Controller, Clerk-Recorder, Treasurer-Tax Collector, and Supervisors in two districts can sit on the 2026 gubernatorial table in this county — that is not this oval.
General-law clock. No § 1300(c) charter exception on this oval. Sacramento remains the capital.
Elections Code § 1300 (AB 759, 2022): sheriff and district attorney with the presidential primary. A 2022 winner serves six years. Ventura County is general law. The charter-exception sentence in § 1300(c) is for counties that, on or before 1 January 2021, named a different sheriff date in a charter. This county did not. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Clara, and San Bernardino are other maps.
- Last regular: Tuesday, 7 June 2022.
- Next regular: the 2028 presidential primary. If no majority under §§ 8140–8141, runoff at the presidential general. Confirm the live 2028 date on the California SOS elections calendar.
- Take office: noon on the first Monday after January 1 succeeding election (Gov. Code § 24200). For 2028 that is Monday, 8 January 2029.
- Vacancy: Board of Supervisors appointment (Gov. Code § 25304).
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Five Supervisors sit — not this oval. A mission rumor does not hire this badge. Los Angeles County is a different county. Santa Barbara County is a different county. Ventura is the seat. Sacramento is the capital.
Clerk-Recorder at the Government Center prints the sample ballot. Ventura City Hall does not.
Elections work for Ventura County lists with the Clerk-Recorder / Registrar of Voters at the Government Center, 800 South Victoria Avenue. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and vote-by-mail on sos.ca.gov, vote.venturacounty.gov, and clerkrecorder.venturacounty.gov. That is county elections work — not Ventura City Hall as this clerk, not Oxnard City Hall as this clerk.
Do not take names from an LA rumor, a Santa Barbara card, or an Oxnard municipal flyer as this oval
Do not take names from a Los Angeles rumor, a Santa Barbara sample, a Ventura municipal card, an Oxnard flyer, or a Sacramento statewide card as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — California Secretary of State and Ventura County Clerk-Recorder / Registrar of Voters
- Ventura County elections
- Current Sheriff of record — official listing at the Sheriff door
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins. Do not invent a 2026 sheriff oval here.
You are hiring Victoria, Todd, Olsen, and five contract shops — not VPD, not Oxnard PD
You are hiring the Sheriff of Ventura County, California — unincorporated patrol; Camarillo, Fillmore, Moorpark, Ojai, and Thousand Oaks contracts; warrants; civil process at Hall of Justice Room 101; courthouse security at the Government Center; and 800 South Victoria, 600 South Todd Road, and 2101 East Olsen Road. You are not hiring Ventura Police. You are not hiring Oxnard Police. You are not hiring the Medical Examiner. You are not hiring Los Angeles County. You are not hiring Santa Barbara County. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for three houses as this jailer, San Buenaventura as the seat not the capital, Ventura PD as not this oval, and Autauga-with-a-mission as not this rewrite.
A bad service in El Rio remainder still goes to this Sheriff and the Hall of Justice
A bad service — this Sheriff’s door, Professional Standards / Internal Affairs at the Pre-Trial first floor, and the courts. Five Supervisors are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Ventura PD. Not Oxnard PD. Not a mission as this oval.
Fire in the hills, a wreck on 101, wind on the Oxnard plain — this county’s mutual aid first
Fire in the Ojai hills or the Santa Clara Valley, a wreck on 101, a closure on 126, wind on the plain, a night road outside Piru — this county’s mutual aid first. Santa Barbara is a different count. Los Angeles is a different count. Ventura city hall is a different government. Naval Base Ventura County is federal.
Civil papers leave Hall of Justice Room 101. Night hours the office actually posts. Three houses remain this badge.
Papers. A Government Center courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. Victoria, Todd Road, and Olsen remain this badge. Ventura PD does not. Oxnard PD does not.
A levy in unincorporated Ventura still needs notice even if a visitor photographed Los Angeles
A levy in unincorporated Ventura County still needs notice. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a mission, or because a visitor photographed Ventura as if it were Los Angeles, or because a visitor photographed Ventura as if it were Santa Barbara.
Equal protection from the Santa Barbara line to the Los Angeles line
Equal protection on the two-coast map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker at Todd Road and a family in Oak Park remainder hire the same Sheriff. A resident of a contract city and a resident of unincorporated remainder hire the same Sheriff. A resident of Oxnard hires Oxnard Police for city 911 — and still hires this Sheriff for the county oval.
