About Customer Service Representative Training
Orange County Registrar of Voters’ training team prepares about 1,400 Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) and leads each election to operate Vote Centers, working to provide every voter with the same high level of service no matter which location they visit. As part of the curriculum, CSRs and leads receive in-depth training on Vote Center procedures and customer service expectations. Participants also practice assisting the public during the voting period through a simulated Vote Center eight-hour practice class. Through this comprehensive training program, our knowledgeable representatives are prepared to support Vote Centers during the 2026 General Election and help all voters “Vote Easy. Vote Secure.” We are currently seeking Customer Service Representatives with bilingual skills in Chinese, Farsi, Hmong, Indonesian, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Nepali, Punjabi, Spanish, Tagalog, Vietnamese.

| High School Voter Education Weeks High School Voter Education Weeks are observed from Sept. 14 through Sept. 25. The goal is to bring civic engagement awareness to our young and future voters. Eligible students aged 16 and 17 can pre-register to vote. When students pre-register to vote, they will automatically become registered voters at 18 years of age. Community outreach team members from ROV are available to partner with local high schools to promote civic education. They’re also available to speak at local colleges and universities, community groups, non-profit organizations, and other local organizations. You can submit a speaker request at ocvote.gov/community. |

| Life of a Vote-By-Mail Ballot, Part 1 Orange County Registrar of Voters maintains the integrity of your Vote-By-Mail ballot throughout the election process. The life of a Vote-By-Mail ballot starts when we print, prepare and mail the ballots. We have a high-speed printer onsite that produces the Vote-By-Mail ballots and two mail inserting machines that trim and fold the ballots before they are inserted into an envelope with voting instructions, a return envelope and an “I Voted” sticker. In July, the U.S. Postal Service approved the design of our ballot envelopes. Each envelope carries an Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB) that lets us track a ballot through the mail system including when it's sent, and when it's returned. Before ballots are mailed, we sort the envelopes and confirm that no voter is mailed more than one ballot. Voters can track their own ballot's status - and sign up for notifications - at OC Ballot Express. Voted ballots are collected from the U.S. Postal Service, our Ballot Drop Boxes and Vote Centers by two-person teams, using strict tracking and chain of custody procedures. Watch the “How Ballots Are Securely Printed and Distributed” video for a deeper look into this process. Your ballot goes through many steps to ensure elections are accurate, secure, and transparent.
