Flournoy, California Public Records

Law enforcement services for Flournoy are provided by the Tehama County Sheriff's Office. As the primary law enforcement agency for the unincorporated community, the Sheriff's Office is responsible for responding to emergency calls, investigating crimes, and maintaining public safety. Residents can contact the Sheriff's Office for non-emergency inquiries or to report suspicious activities. The agency's website offers information on crime statistics, community programs, and ways for local residents to get involved.

Flournoy voters are served by the Tehama County Registrar of Voters, located at 444 Oak Street, Red Bluff, CA 96080 (phone: 530-527-8190, website: https://www.co.tehama.ca.us/elections). Because Flournoy is unincorporated and has no city government, residents do not vote on municipal offices or local ballot measures; instead, they participate in county, state, and federal elections. California residents can register to vote online at https://registertovote.ca.gov up to 15 days before an election; same-day conditional voter registration is available at the county elections office or any polling place on Election Day. Voters need a California driver's license or ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Mail-in ballots are available to all registered voters, and Tehama County is transitioning to a Vote Center model under the California Voter's Choice Act, allowing residents to vote at any Vote Center in the county during early voting or on Election Day rather than being assigned a single precinct polling place. Voters can look up their assigned Vote Center locations and check registration status at https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/vote-mail or by contacting the Registrar. In the November 2024 presidential election, Tehama County reported approximately 65% voter turnout among its roughly 37,000 registered voters, with about 24,000 ballots cast countywide. The next major election is on November 3, 2026, when Flournoy and Tehama County voters will decide California's gubernatorial race (Governor Gavin Newsom's term expires in 2027), all 80 State Assembly seats, 20 odd-numbered State Senate seats, and local Tehama County offices including Board of Supervisors (District 4 encompasses Flournoy), Sheriff, Assessor, and possibly the Registrar of Voters depending on term expirations. California has no U.S. Senate seat up in 2026, as both Senators Padilla and Butler face election in different cycles. Flournoy is part of California's 3rd Congressional District, which holds elections in presidential years, so no U.S. House race will appear on the 2026 ballot. Public election records in California include voter registration files (available to candidates, campaigns, and researchers under Elections Code §2184), campaign finance disclosure reports searchable online at http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov, candidate statements of qualification filed with the Secretary of State, and precinct-level election results published by the Registrar after each election. Tehama County posts certified election results and vote tallies by precinct at https://www.co.tehama.ca.us/elections. Absentee ballots are automatically mailed to all active registered voters starting 29 days before each election under California's permanent mail ballot system; voters may return ballots by mail (postmarked by Election Day), at any Vote Center, or at official drop boxes located throughout the county.
