Strengthening Public Confidence in Elections by Providing Comprehensive and Transparent Public Observation

Observation

The use of technology allows observers to clearly view ballot processing activities.

Dozens of monitors are mounted immediately outside a secure area for observers to see every piece of equipment processing ballots. 

Ambassadors, who are easily identified, help to manage large groups of observers. 

 

 

Multiple Methods of Communication
 

 
Social media posts are used to educate voters and inform them of important events.   Newsletters are distributed twice a week with valuable information, and invitations to observe.

 



 

Educational Videos for Observation

Videos are available explaining ballot processing, and what can be observed. 

"Deeper Look" Videos Describing Ballot Security

Videos are available detailing ballot security, and the various processes utilized in Orange County.
