Election Day - Last Day to Vote!
Today is Election Day! And, it’s the last day you can cast your 2026 Statewide Direct Primary Election ballot, if you haven’t already. Vote Centers and secure Ballot Drop Boxes are open until 8 p.m. Find a location near you at ocvote.gov/voting. To check the projected wait time at each Vote Center, visit ocvote.gov/time. If you want to mail your ballot, make sure the U.S. Postal Service will postmark it today. Visit a United States Post Office to request that a hand-stamped postmark be applied. Ballot envelopes must be postmarked by June 2. We will process all Vote-By-Mail ballots postmarked no later than today and delivered to us by the U.S. Postal Service by June 9. All ballots with a postmark of June 3 or later will be rejected as too late. Bob Page Registrar of Voters |

The first election results report will be posted at 8:05 p.m. after Vote Centers close.

| Ballot Drop Box Strike Force At least two County of Orange employees will be stationed at each of our 128 Ballot Drop Boxes throughout the county during the final five to six hours of voting today, June 2. This is our Ballot Drop Box Strike Force Team. These members assist voters with dropping off their Vote-By-Mail ballots, provide traffic control, and ensure no electioneering takes place within 100 feet of the Ballot Drop Box. Their most important job occurs at 8 p.m. today. Each Strike Force Team will close and lock their Ballot Drop Box promptly at 8 p.m. or after the last voter in line by 8 p.m. has dropped off their ballot. To find a Ballot Drop Box near you, visit ocvote.gov/dropbox. Track the status of your ballot with OC Ballot Express. Learn more at ocvote.gov/track. |
