Eagleville, California Public Records

This coordination between the Sheriff's Office and municipal departments proves essential for addressing criminal activity and maintaining public safety in a rural county with scattered population centers.

Registration requires providing a California driver's license or ID number, date of birth, and last four digits of Social Security number. The registration deadline is 15 days before any election. California also offers conditional voter registration, allowing eligible citizens to register and vote up through Election Day at the County Elections Office or designated vote centers. Voters must be U.S. Citizens, California residents, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and not currently incarcerated for a felony conviction. Pre-registered 16- and 17-year-olds are automatically registered when they turn 18. As an unincorporated community with no municipal government, Eagleville has no city council or mayoral elections. Instead, residents participate in Modoc County Supervisor elections - District 1 represents the Surprise Valley area including the community - along with school board elections for Surprise Valley Joint Unified School District and various special district elections. County Supervisor terms run four years, with elections typically held in gubernatorial election years. Residents can find their assigned polling place using the polling place lookup tool on the California Secretary of State's website at www.sos.ca.gov or by contacting the Modoc County Elections Office. California has transitioned to a vote center model in many counties, though Modoc County's implementation may vary. Voters can also check their voter registration status, sample ballot, and polling location through the Modoc County website. Under California law, voter registration information is public record with restrictions. Voter lists showing names, addresses, and party affiliation are available to candidates, campaigns, and researchers, though residential addresses are withheld for voters who participate in the Safe at Home confidential address program. Campaign finance records are searchable through the California Fair Political Practices Commission at www.fppc.ca.gov for state and county campaigns. Candidate filing information and statements are available through the County Elections Office. Precinct-level election results are published after certification, showing vote totals by race and geography. In the November 2024 presidential election, Modoc County reported approximately 65-70% voter turnout, with the county historically favoring Republican candidates by wide margins. The small population here contributes a modest number of ballots, but participation rates in this rural community typically match or exceed county averages. The November 3, 2026 general election will feature several important races for Eagleville and Modoc County voters. California will not have a gubernatorial race in 2026 (next gubernatorial election is 2026), but voters will decide one U.S. Senate seat, all California State Assembly seats (District 1 represents Modoc County), and various county offices including Supervisor seats, Sheriff, Assessor, Clerk-Recorder, and other constitutional offices depending on the election cycle. School board positions for Surprise Valley Joint Unified School District may also appear on the ballot. Local measures regarding taxation, land use, or special district governance may be included depending on what county or district governing boards place before voters. California is a universal vote-by-mail state; all registered voters automatically receive mail ballots for each election. Residents will receive ballots at their registered addresses beginning 29 days before Election Day. Completed ballots can be returned by mail (postmarked by Election Day), deposited in official drop boxes located throughout Modoc County, or delivered in person to the County Elections Office or any vote center. Voters can also choose to vote in person at vote centers during the early voting period or on Election Day. Vote-by-mail ballot tracking is available at california.ballottrax.net, allowing voters to confirm when their ballot was mailed, received, and counted.
