Ballot Collection Security
Election security is a top priority for the Orange County Registrar of Voters. Ballot drop boxes are one of four safe and secure ways Orange County voters can cast their ballot.
All ballot drop boxes:
- Are installed in locations with high visibility
- Constructed with reinforced steel walls
- Weigh more than 1,000 pounds
- Are bolted into concrete
- Are individually keyed
- Contain a fire suppression device
Only teams of two election workers can collect the voted ballots from the drop boxes, following strict chain of custody procedures. The Registrar of Voters tracks the GPS location of ballot collection teams and stays in radio contact with them at all times they are completing their routes. The routes are randomized each day to protect the safety of the employees and the ballots.
Find a Ballot Drop Box near you and learn about all your options for voting by visiting ocvote.gov/voting. |

Signature Comparison
The Registrar of Voters is committed to the highest standard of election integrity and security.
When the Registrar of Voters receives Vote-by-Mail ballots, we review the signatures on the return envelope. If they compare to the signatures we have on file from voter registration records, the ballots are accepted and extracted from the envelopes for counting.
Once that happens, a voter’s cast vote is now anonymous. There is no personal information on the ballot itself to identify it as the voter’s. This way, each voter’s privacy remains intact as ballots are scanned, and each vote is processed.
If a voter forgets to sign the return envelope or if three members of the Registrar of Voters team find the signature on the envelope differs significantly from the signatures we have on file from voter registration records, we will mail the voter a statement to sign and return to us to confirm that the voter voted. We will also call or email voters about a signature cure issue if the voters provided that contact information with their registration.
We then compare the signature on the signature cure statement to the signatures we have on file from voter registration records. If three members of our team again find the signatures differ significantly, the ballot will remain in the return envelope and will not be counted.
To ensure that you are ready for this election, keep your voter registration signature up to date and verify your registration status at ocvote.gov/verify |
