Election Procedures

Fire District Elections are managed by the County of Santa Cruz Elections Department. Elections are held in November of even years. Terms of office are four-year staggered terms.

Additional information can be obtained by contacting the County of Santa Cruz Elections Department.

Central Fire District operates on a District-based electoral system. This system divides our District into separate geographic areas, where voters choose their representatives, who must also live in that District representation area.

Residents can input their home address into our Interactive District Map to see what their designated election zone is within the District. The zones that each Director represents can be found in our Board Biographies.
