Clio, California Public Records

Law enforcement responsibilities for Clio and Plumas County are overseen by the Plumas County Sheriff's Office, headquartered at 1500 Persecution Drive in Quincy. The Sheriff's Office is tasked with maintaining public safety, responding to emergency calls, and conducting criminal investigations within the local community. In addition to the main office, the Sheriff's Office operates several substations throughout the county to ensure prompt and effective law enforcement coverage for all residents, including those living in the 96106 and 96122 ZIP code areas that encompass Clio.

Clio voters are served by the Plumas County Elections Department, which is part of the Clerk-Recorder's Office located at 520 Main Street, Room 101, Quincy, CA 95971. The Elections Department phone number is (530) 283-6256, and election information is available at www.countyofplumas.com/elections. California residents, including those in Clio, can register to vote online at registertovote.ca.gov, the official state voter registration portal managed by the California Secretary of State. The voter registration deadline in California is 15 days before any election, though conditional voter registration is available up through Election Day at county elections offices and vote centers. To register, applicants must be U.S. citizens, California residents, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and not currently serving a state prison term for a felony conviction. Since Clio is an unincorporated community, there are no municipal elections for mayor or city council; instead, Clio residents vote in Plumas County Supervisor elections for District 5, which includes the Eastern Plumas area. County Supervisor elections are held in even-numbered years and are nonpartisan. Clio voters also participate in elections for Plumas Unified School District board members. Polling place lookup for Clio voters is available through the County Elections website or by calling the Elections Department; California also allows voters to check registration status and polling location at voterstatus.sos.ca.gov. California election records that are public include voter registration lists (available for political purposes with restrictions), campaign finance disclosures filed with the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) and available at cal-access.sos.ca.gov, candidate statements and filings available through county elections offices, and precinct-level election results published after each election. In the November 2024 presidential election, Plumas County reported approximately 60-65% voter turnout with around 8,000-9,000 ballots cast from roughly 14,000 registered voters. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, Plumas County and Clio voters will decide several important races including the California gubernatorial election, as Governor Gavin Newsom's term expires (note: California governors serve four-year terms, so 2026 will feature a gubernatorial race); one of California's U.S. Senate seats may be on the ballot depending on the election cycle; State Assembly and State Senate seats representing the area; Plumas County Supervisor seats (Districts 1, 3, and 5 are typically up in each election cycle); county offices such as Sheriff, District Attorney, Assessor, and Clerk-Recorder; and various state propositions and local measures. California is a universal vote-by-mail state, meaning every registered voter automatically receives a mail ballot for each election; ballots are mailed approximately 29 days before Election Day and can be returned by mail (postmarked by Election Day), deposited in official drop boxes, or returned in person to vote centers. Clio residents can also vote in person at any vote center in Plumas County during the voting period.
