Behind the Scenes
of Orange County Elections
October 27, 2016 - Think ahead to Election Day for a moment. You might be in a hurry, but it's possible that your polling place will be crowded at the moment you arrive. You can avoid this scenario by choosing the time you want to vote - on your schedule - by visiting one of our six Vote Centers in Orange County. These Vote Centers will be open beginning this coming Saturday, October 29th and will be open everyday through November 7th. Don't have time to vote in-person? Consider voting-by-mail - the fastest growing method of voting in Orange County.
With either choice you've avoided what could be peak times in your polling place. And in case you're not aware - these ballots are counted exactly like an "Election Day" ballot - there is no difference. Every ballot cast must be counted and is verified by post-election audits.
