Twin Peaks, California Public Records

Law enforcement services for the Twin Peaks community are primarily provided by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. The department's Twin Peaks Station is responsible for patrolling the area, responding to emergency calls, and investigating local crimes. Residents can contact the Twin Peaks Station for non-emergency inquiries or to report suspicious activity. The Sheriff's Department works closely with the community to maintain public safety and address any law enforcement concerns that may arise.

Twin Peaks voters are served by the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters, officially known as the San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters/Recorder, located at 777 East Rialto Avenue, San Bernardino, CA 92415-0770, phone (909) 387-8300, website www.sbcountyelections.com. This office administers all federal, state, county, and local district elections for Twin Peaks residents, including voter registration, ballot preparation, polling place operations, vote-by-mail processing, and official canvass of results. Twin Peaks residents can register to vote online through the California Secretary of State's website at https://registertovote.ca.gov, which allows eligible citizens to complete registration electronically with a California driver's license or ID card. Voter registration deadlines in California are 15 days before any election for traditional registration; California also offers conditional voter registration up through Election Day for those who missed the deadline, allowing registration and voting at vote centers or the county elections office. Voters must be U.S. citizens, California residents, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and not currently serving a state prison sentence for a felony conviction.

Because Twin Peaks is an unincorporated community without its own municipal government, there are no mayoral or city council elections specific to Twin Peaks. Instead, residents participate in San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors elections; Twin Peaks is located in Supervisorial District 3, which covers the mountain and desert regions. County Supervisor elections are held every four years in staggered cycles. Twin Peaks voters also elect representatives to special districts including the Rim of the World Unified School District Board of Education and the Crestline-Lake Arrowhead Water Agency Board of Directors, with elections typically held during consolidated election dates. Residents can find their specific polling location or vote center by using the polling place lookup tool at www.sbcountyelections.com or by calling the Registrar of Voters. California has transitioned to a Vote Center model in many counties including San Bernardino, allowing voters to cast ballots at any vote center in the county during early voting periods and on Election Day, rather than being assigned to a single precinct polling place.

Election records available to the public in California include voter registration lists (available for purchase by qualified requestors for election purposes), campaign finance disclosure reports filed by candidates and committees (searchable at http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov), candidate statements and filing information, precinct-level election results, and certified election results for all contests. Individual voter history (which elections a person voted in, but not how they voted) is also public, though ballot secrecy is strictly protected. In the November 2024 presidential election, San Bernardino County reported approximately 56% voter turnout among registered voters, with over 600,000 ballots cast countywide. Twin Peaks precincts typically show slightly higher turnout than county averages, reflecting the engaged nature of the mountain community.

Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election (held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November), Twin Peaks and San Bernardino County voters will decide several significant races. In 2026, California will hold elections for statewide constitutional offices including Governor (Gavin Newsom is term-limited and cannot run), Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Controller, Treasurer, Insurance Commissioner, and Superintendent of Public Instruction. All 80 seats in the California State Assembly will be on the ballot (two-year terms), along with 20 of the 40 California State Senate seats (four-year terms). Twin Peaks voters will elect their State Assembly representative (currently District 33) and may have a State Senate race depending on the district cycle. San Bernardino County offices on the 2026 ballot will include several countywide positions such as District Attorney, Sheriff-Coroner, Assessor-Recorder-Clerk, and potentially Board of Supervisors seats in districts where terms expire. Judicial retention elections for Superior Court judges may also appear on the ballot. Local special district positions including water district and school board seats will be decided in Twin Peaks' governing districts. California does not have U.S. Senate seats up in 2026 (next Senate race is 2028), but all California U.S. House seats are contested every two years; Twin Peaks voters will elect their congressional representative from District 23.

California offers multiple methods for casting ballots. All registered voters automatically receive a vote-by-mail ballot sent to their registered address beginning 29 days before Election Day. Voters can complete and return mail ballots using the postage-paid envelope (must be postmarked by Election Day and received within 7 days), or drop them in official ballot drop boxes located throughout San Bernardino County (open 29 days before through 8 PM on Election Day), or return them to any vote center. Voters preferring in-person voting can visit any vote center in San Bernardino County during the early voting period (beginning 10 days before Election Day) or on Election Day itself. Vote centers offer same-day voter registration, replacement ballots, accessible voting machines, and language assistance. The San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters website at www.sbcountyelections.com provides comprehensive election information including sample ballots, candidate statements, ballot measure details, vote center locations and hours, and real-time election results on election night.
