Port Hueneme elects City Council members to four-year terms, with nomination papers handled by appointment through the City Clerk. Jurisdiction: City of Port Hueneme, Ventura County. City Council: Four-year terms. Election official: Port Hueneme City Clerk. Ballot: Ventura County Registrar of Voters. The City of Port Hueneme, in Ventura County, elects City Council members to four-year terms at its general municipal election. The City Clerk serves as Elections Official, and the Ventura County Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters runs vote centers, mail ballots and candidate lists. Nomination by appointment. Candidates schedule an appointment with the City Clerk to pull papers and must gather at least 20 and no more than 30 signatures from registered Port Hueneme voters. The City encourages candidates to start early in the period to leave time to collect signatures and fix errors. In 2026 the City's notice listed three Council seats for four-year terms, and the period ran July 13 to August 7, with a five-day extension for non-incumbents if an incumbent did not run. That window has closed; use the City Clerk's current materials for any later election. Candidate status and county lists. The City posts a candidate status table showing when papers were issued, filed and qualified, and links the County's candidate list for the full ballot. County, school and district contests. Confirm the filing officer for school and special-district offices with the Ventura County Registrar of Voters; those boundaries are not the City's. Before you brief us on a Port Hueneme project.
