Storrie, California Public Records

Law enforcement services for the city of Storrie are provided by the Plumas County Sheriff's Office. As the primary law enforcement agency for the entire county, the Plumas County Sheriff's Office is responsible for responding to emergency calls, conducting investigations, and making arrests within the Storrie community. Residents can contact the sheriff's office directly for non-emergency assistance or to report any criminal activity. The Plumas County Sheriff's Office is headquartered in Quincy and has additional substations located throughout the county.

Storrie residents are served by the Plumas County Elections Office, officially part of the Plumas County Clerk-Recorder's Office, located at 520 Main Street, Room 102, Quincy, CA 95971, phone (530) 283-6218, website: www.plumascounty.us/departments/clerk-recorder. This office administers all federal, state, county, and local district elections for Storrie and all areas of Plumas County, including voter registration, candidate filing, ballot preparation, polling place coordination, vote counting, and certification of election results. The Elections Office maintains voter registration files, processes vote-by-mail ballots, recruits and trains poll workers, and ensures compliance with California Elections Code provisions.

Storrie 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. Storrie 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 Storrie area, with supervisor elections held every four years on a rotating schedule.

Storrie 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. Polling places are open from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Election Day. 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.

In the November 2024 presidential election, Plumas County reported approximately 60% voter turnout, with about 7,500 ballots cast out of roughly 12,500 registered voters countywide. Plumas County historically trends Republican in partisan races, though turnout and results vary by election cycle and specific contests. Storrie's small population contributes a minimal number of votes to county totals.

The November 3, 2026 general election will feature several significant races for Storrie and Plumas County voters. California's gubernatorial election will be held, as Governor Gavin Newsom's current term ends in January 2027, making this a critical statewide race. One U.S. Senate seat may be on the ballot depending on the election cycle schedule. All 52 California U.S. House seats will be contested, including California's 1st Congressional District representing Storrie. The California State Assembly and half of the State Senate seats will be up for election. At the 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.
