Taylorsville, California Public Records

Law enforcement services for the Taylorsville community are provided by the Plumas County Sheriff's Office. This agency is responsible for patrolling the area, responding to emergency calls, and investigating any criminal activity. The Plumas County Sheriff's Office is headquartered in Quincy and operates substations throughout the county to ensure efficient public safety coverage.

Taylorsville voters receive all election services from the Plumas County Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters, located at 520 Main Street, Room 102, Quincy, CA 95971, phone (530) 283-6218, website www.countyofplumas.com/elections. This office administers all federal, state, county, and local district elections for Taylorsville residents and handles voter registration, ballot preparation, polling place operations, vote-by-mail ballots, and official canvassing of results. California residents can register to vote online through the California Secretary of State's website at registertovote.ca.gov; voters must be U.S. citizens, California residents, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and not currently serving a state or federal prison term for a felony conviction. The voter registration deadline is 15 days before each election, though California offers conditional voter registration allowing eligible citizens to register and vote up through Election Day at designated locations. New registrants must provide a California driver's license or identification number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Because Taylorsville is an unincorporated community, there are no municipal elections for mayor or city council; residents vote in Plumas County Board of Supervisors elections, with Taylorsville falling within one of the county's five supervisor districts. County Supervisor elections are held in November of even-numbered years, with staggered terms. Taylorsville voters also participate in elections for school board trustees for the Plumas Unified School District. To find their assigned polling place, Taylorsville residents can use the county's polling place lookup tool on the Elections Office website or call the office directly; California also offers same-day voter registration and voting at Vote Centers in some counties. Under California law, certain election records are public, including voter registration lists (available with restrictions to protect privacy under California Elections Code section 2194), campaign finance reports filed with the county or California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) at www.fppc.ca.gov, candidate statements and nomination papers, and precinct-by-precinct election results. In the November 2024 presidential election, Plumas County reported moderate turnout consistent with rural Northern California patterns, with approximately 70-75% of registered voters casting ballots; the county has historically leaned conservative in partisan elections. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, Taylorsville and Plumas County voters will decide several significant races: California's gubernatorial election (Governor Gavin Newsom's term expires in 2027), all 80 California State Assembly seats including the district covering Plumas County, half of the 40 California State Senate seats (depending on the district cycle), and various Plumas County offices including Sheriff, District Attorney, Assessor, Auditor-Controller, and Treasurer-Tax Collector, depending on term schedules. One of California's U.S. Senate seats may also be on the ballot in 2026 depending on the election cycle. Additionally, voters will likely see various state propositions and local measures addressing county issues such as tax measures, advisory questions, or district matters. California is a universal vote-by-mail state; all registered voters automatically receive a mail ballot before each election, which can be returned by mail (postage-free), at designated drop boxes throughout the county, or in person at the Elections Office or Vote Centers. Voters can also choose to vote in person during early voting periods or on Election Day. Ballot tracking is available through the California "Where's My Ballot?" system at wheresmyballot.sos.ca.gov, allowing voters to receive notifications when their mail ballot is mailed, received, and counted.
