Storrie, California Public Records

The office maintains voter registration files, processes vote-by-mail ballots, recruits and trains poll workers, and ensures compliance with California Elections Code provisions. Residents can register to vote online through the California Secretary of State's website at registertovote.ca.gov, which provides a streamlined registration process requiring a California driver's license or ID card number. Voter registration deadlines in California are 15 days before any election for traditional registration, though California implemented Same Day Voter Registration (also called Conditional Voter Registration) allowing eligible citizens to register and vote provisionally at vote centers and county elections offices through Election Day. Registration requires U.S. Citizenship, California residency, being at least 18 years old by Election Day, and not currently serving a state prison sentence for a felony conviction. California automatically registers eligible voters through the Department of Motor Vehicles when obtaining or renewing driver's licenses unless the individual opts out. As an unincorporated community, Storrie has no municipal government, city council, or mayoral elections. Local residents vote in federal elections (President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives for California's 1st Congressional District), statewide elections (Governor, other constitutional officers, state legislature, ballot propositions), Plumas County elections (Board of Supervisors, Sheriff, District Attorney, Assessor, Auditor-Controller, Clerk-Recorder, Treasurer-Tax Collector), and various special district elections (school boards, fire districts, resource conservation districts, community services districts). Plumas County Board of Supervisors District 4 represents the area, with supervisor elections held every four years on a rotating schedule. Voters can locate their assigned polling place and vote center through the Plumas County Elections Office website or by calling (530) 283-6218. California has transitioned many counties to a Vote Center model under the Voter's Choice Act, though Plumas County as of 2024 continues to use traditional precinct-based polling places.

Voters can verify their registration status, polling location, and ballot contents through the California Secretary of State's website at voterstatus.sos.ca.gov. California public records law makes certain election records publicly accessible. Voter registration lists (excluding confidential voters) are available to candidates, committees, and researchers under California Elections Code Section 2188. Campaign finance disclosure statements for state and local candidates are public records searchable through the California Secretary of State's Cal-Access database at cal-access.sos.ca.gov for state races and through the Plumas County Elections Office for local candidates. Candidate statements, nomination papers, and ballot measure materials are public records. Precinct-level election results are posted on the County Elections Office website after each election and maintained as public records. Plumas County historically trends Republican in partisan races, though turnout and results vary by election cycle and specific contests. The community's small population contributes a minimal number of votes to county totals. One U.S. Senate seat may be on the ballot depending on the election cycle schedule. All 52 California U.S.Current federal, state, and local election schedules, ballot contests, candidate filings, and certified results for Storrie voters are published by the California Secretary of State (https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections). The California State Assembly and half of the State Senate seats will be up for election. At the Plumas County level, several Plumas County elected offices may appear on the ballot depending on the four-year rotation schedule, potentially including County Supervisor seats, Sheriff, and other countywide officers. Various local school board seats, special district boards, and potential local ballot measures addressing taxation, land use, or governance issues may appear. Candidate filing for the June 2026 primary election typically occurs in February-March 2026. California is a universal vote-by-mail state under Elections Code Section 3001, meaning every registered voter automatically receives a vote-by-mail ballot for each election. Ballots are mailed beginning 29 days before Election Day. Voters can complete and return mail ballots by U.S. Mail (postmarked by Election Day), deliver them to official ballot drop boxes located throughout Plumas County (available until 8:00 PM on Election Day), return them to any polling place or vote center in Plumas County on Election Day, or deliver them in person to the County Elections Office. Voters can also choose to vote in person at their polling place instead of using their mail ballot. California allows voters to track their mail ballot status through the "Where's My Ballot?" system at wheresmyballot.sos.ca.gov, which sends notifications when ballots are mailed, returned, and counted.
