Get to Know Vote Center Workers
Vote Center Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) play a vital role in helping Orange County vote during the 2024 Presidential General Election. When you visit a Vote Center, your one-stop location for all things voting, Customer Service Representatives are available to help. They can assist in helping you to vote or register to vote, solve voter registration issues, get a replacement ballot, and get general assistance for 11 days, not just one. On average, seven CSRs are assigned to each Vote Center, one of which is a Lead. It’s important to remember that they are your friends and neighbors, working to help their community; in fact, don’t be surprised if you recognize one or two of them. Bob Page Registrar of Voters |

| Does the Registrar of Voters Verify Citizenship of Voters? No. The Registrar of Voters is not authorized under State law to verify a voter’s citizenship. The Registers of Voters complies with the law requiring it to only register voters who have certified under penalty of perjury that they are a United States citizen. California Elections Code section 2112 states that a person certifying his or her U.S. citizenship on a voter registration affidavit shall be deemed evidence of citizenship. In addition, the Registrar of Voters complies with the U.S. Help America Vote Act, which requires individuals registering to vote for the first time to provide either a valid California driver's license or state ID card number. Applicants who do not have either can provide the last four digits of their Social Security number. The number of the voter’s California Driver’s License or Identification Card and the voter’s name and date of birth must match the information for the voter on file with the Department of Motor Vehicles. State law further prohibits the Department of Motor Vehicles from sending undocumented driver license applicants’ information to the Secretary of State for voter registration purposes. Willfully lying about one’s eligibility to vote on a registration affidavit is a felony in California, carrying a penalty of up to three years in county jail. |

| Is Voting Equipment Connected to the Internet? No. All election equipment used to print ballots, mark ballots, scan ballots, and tally the votes on the ballots are not connected to the internet, or any outside network for that matter. The Registrar of Voters complies with the requirements of Elections Code section 19205. The Registrar of Voters uses the Hart Verity Voting System software for the election equipment that allows us to design and print ballots for voters, voters to mark their ballots, voters and us to scan the ballots, and us to tally the votes on the ballots. To be certified for use in California, voting system software must undergo security testing and source code review conducted and overseen by the Secretary of State. In addition, the Registrar of Voters implements physical and administrative security measures to protect the software. These measures include:
