SANTA ANA, CA – March 6, 2025 – Registrar of Voters Bob Page today certified the official Orange County results of the February 25, 2025 State Senate District 36 Special Primary Election.

Total voter turnout for Orange County’s State Senate District 36 was 25.6 percent. Of the 152,422 ballots cast by Orange County’s State Senate District 36 voters and counted, 94.9 percent cast a Vote-By-Mail ballot and 5.1 percent cast an in-person ballot at one of 20 Vote Centers throughout Orange County’s State Senate District 36.

Prior to certification, a One Percent Manual Tally audit was completed to verify the results of the election.

The legally required One Percent Manual Tally examined and manually tallied 1,617 ballots from seven precincts. The hand count results were then compared with the election results that were produced by the County’s voting system.

The outcome of the One Percent Manual Tally provided additional confirmation that the results of the election were correct. Details on the audit can be found at ocvote.gov/audit.

A post-election logic and accuracy test of Orange County's voting system equipment and software was also conducted. Test ballots were fed through all ballot scanning devices used in the election, and all the votes on the test ballots were accurately counted.
