Twin Bridges, California Public Records

Law enforcement in Twin Bridges is provided by the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office, which has its headquarters at 300 Fair Lane, Placerville, CA 95667. The Sheriff's Office can be reached at (530) 621-5655 and is responsible for responding to emergency calls, investigating crimes, and maintaining public safety within the community.

Twin Bridges voters are served by the El Dorado County Registrar of Voters, located at 2850 Fairlane Court, Building C, Placerville, CA 95667 (phone: 530-621-7480, website: www.edcgov.us/elections). This office administers all federal, state, county, and local elections for Twin Bridges residents. California residents can register to vote online at https://registertovote.ca.gov, the official Secretary of State voter registration portal, which requires a California driver license or ID card number. The registration deadline is 15 days before any election. Same-day conditional voter registration is available during the 14-day period before Election Day and on Election Day at vote centers and the Elections Office. Because Twin Bridges is an unincorporated community with no municipal government, there are no city council or mayoral elections. Residents vote in El Dorado County Supervisor District elections (five supervisor districts countywide), California State Assembly and Senate districts, U.S. Congressional districts, and statewide offices. Twin Bridges voters can locate their assigned polling place or vote center through the county elections website or at https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/polling-place, entering their residential address. El Dorado County has transitioned to a Vote Center model under the California Voter's Choice Act, allowing voters to cast ballots at any vote center in the county during the days leading up to and including Election Day, rather than being restricted to a single precinct location. In the November 2024 presidential election, El Dorado County reported approximately 63-65% voter turnout with over 125,000 registered voters and roughly 80,000 ballots cast, reflecting the county's traditionally high civic engagement. For the November 3, 2026 general election, Twin Bridges and El Dorado County voters will decide several major races: California's gubernatorial election (Governor Gavin Newsom's term expires in 2026), all California State Assembly seats (two-year terms), half of the California State Senate (four-year terms), California's constitutional offices (Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Controller, Treasurer, Insurance Commissioner, Superintendent of Public Instruction), and El Dorado County offices including Sheriff, District Attorney, Assessor, Auditor-Controller, Clerk-Recorder, and Treasurer-Tax Collector. U.S. Senate seats are not scheduled for election in California in 2026 (next in 2028). California election records that are public include voter registration statistics (not individual voter records with addresses, which are confidential), campaign finance reports through cal-access.sos.ca.gov, candidate statements and filings, precinct-level election results, and ballot measure information. California is a universal vote-by-mail state; every registered voter automatically receives a mail ballot before each election. Voters can request to be permanent vote-by-mail voters (now automatic), track their ballot status at https://california.ballottrax.net/voter/, and return ballots by mail (postmarked by Election Day), at drop boxes throughout the county, or at any vote center.
