Sheriff Election — Plumas County, California

The 2028 oval in Quincy — not the 2026 Governor, not Portola as the county
This page is the arena for this office. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. The county as a place is taught at Plumas County, California.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
This Sheriff is not on the 2026 ballot. California moved sheriff and district attorney to the presidential table. The Governor is 2026. That is a different desk in Sacramento.
Quincy hires a Sheriff who still holds Abernethy Lane
Elections Code § 1300 (AB 759, 2022): sheriff and district attorney with the presidential primary. A 2022 winner serves six years.
- Last regular: Tuesday, 7 June 2022 (majority in the primary; no November sheriff card that cycle).
- Next regular: the 2028 presidential primary. If no majority under §§ 8140–8141, runoff at the presidential general. Confirm the live 2028 date on the California SOS elections calendar.
- Take office: noon on the first Monday after January 1 succeeding election (Gov. Code § 24200). For 2028 that is the first Monday after 1 January 2029. 1 January 2029 is a Monday, so Monday, 8 January 2029.
- Vacancy: Board of Supervisors appointment (Gov. Code § 25304). Undersheriff temporarily discharges (§ 24105).
The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Five Supervisors sit — staggered desks, not this oval. A Portola rumor does not hire this badge. Portola is a city. Susanville is Lassen. Sacramento is the capital. Quincy is the seat.
Clerk-Recorder work sits on Main Street — not Portola City Hall as this clerk
Elections work for Plumas County lists with the Clerk-Recorder at the courthouse campus, 520 Main Street. That is county elections work — not Portola City Hall as this clerk, not a Chester visitor desk as this clerk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and vote-by-mail on sos.ca.gov and plumascounty.us.
Sample ballot in Plumas County, California — not Portola as the county, not Quincy, Massachusetts
Do not take names from a Portola rumor, a Susanville flyer, a lake-resort card, or a Sacramento statewide card as this oval.

- Current Sheriff of record — official Plumas County Sheriff listing at plumascounty.us
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins. A majority in the primary can finish the race without a November reprint — confirm the Clerk-Recorder, do not invent a missing race. Do not invent a 2026 sheriff oval here.
What you are hiring — Feather River remainder patrol and Abernethy Lane
You are hiring the Sheriff of Plumas County, California — unincorporated patrol across Quincy remainder, Chester, Greenville, Taylorsville, Graeagle, and the rest; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 520 Main; and the Correctional Facility at 56 Abernethy Lane. You are not hiring High Desert State Prison. You are not hiring Lassen. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Abernethy as this jailer, Quincy as the seat not the capital, Portola as the city not the hall, High Desert as Lassen CDCR, and Autauga-with-a-pine as not this rewrite.
Remedy when a writ misses Chester remainder
A bad service or a paper that missed Greenville remainder or Graeagle remainder — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Five Supervisors are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Portola as this oval. Not Susanville.
Relief when the Feather floods or the canyon burns
High water on the Feather, a wreck on Highway 70, snow on Beckwourth, fire in the forest interface, a night road outside Chester — this county’s mutual aid first. Lassen is a different count. Sierra County is a different count. Butte is a different count. Portola city hall is a different government.
Service — papers, a Main Street docket, a night shift toward Chester
Papers. A Quincy courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated canyon frontage remains this badge. Abernethy remains this badge. CHP does not.
Due process does not wait for a lake rumor
A levy in unincorporated Plumas County, California, still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed a lake, or because a visitor photographed Quincy as if it were the capital.
Rights from Portola to Chester
Equal protection on the Feather River map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker at Abernethy and a family in Greenville hire the same Sheriff.
