Summary

  • September 4 is the planned start date for Tina Peters as Shasta County assistant registrar, replacing Brent Turner, Registrar Clint Curtis said.
  • Peters, the former Mesa County clerk in Colorado, was convicted on 7 counts of election interference in 2024 and remains on parole, barring her from leaving Colorado until 2029.
  • County succession rules would put the assistant registrar in the registrar role if Curtis leaves early, though the Board of Supervisors would then choose a temporary replacement.
  • Curtis was censured by the board in a 3-1 vote last week, and his term as registrar is set to end in early January.
